I bought the second edition. It has useful information, but the book is disjointed.


The good news is that you can eventually find out how commands work and then use them effectively. The book does a fair job in this area.


The bad news is that often times you need to mix and match commands.


The book could be fixed in the following manner.


* List all commands alphabeticaly.


* List the grouped-subsections as indexes in the back.


* Expand on a "see-also" ability in the book.
