- This new section of the Telecom Archives has been established as a
- place where book reviews from the TELECOM Digest over the past two
- years along with reviews from several other publications can be found
- in one convenient location.
-
- Where the reviews appeared in TELECOM Digest they were usually written
- by Rob Slade, but there are other book reviewers included. Most of
- these simply have the date, the reviewer's name and the title. Reviews
- that have been included from other sources usually have the masthead
- of that publication shown in the file.
-
- One problem with files names in Unix is the limitation on the number
- of characters in the name. This means some of the book titles had to
- be abbreviated. Where possible, an abbreviation was done in order
- that the author's name could be included. Where abbreviation was not
- possible without -- in my opinion -- causing the title of the book to
- be almost impossible to comprehend then the author's name was omitted
- in order to give more space to the title itself.
-
- In addition to the reviews here which appeared in TELECOM Digest at
- some time or another in 1993-1994, you will find reviews which
- appeared in Computer Underground Digest, Virus-L and a few other
- places. Often times, these which appeared in other journals were also
- written by Rob Slade.
-
- Enjoy the book reviews! If you see some books you like, enough detail
- is given in the reviews to assist you in locating a copy at your
- favorite book store.
-
- Got other books that should be included? They should have a specific
- telecommuniations or networking theme.
