A good UNIX book for the novice is A UNIX Primer by Ann N. Lomuto
and Nico Lomuto, Prentice-Hall, 1983. The hardcover edition is
239 pages, and it's set in the approximately ``standard'' format
and type style as most of the Kernighan books.

I prefer this book to either Yates or McGilton for novices.
