One of us! The great thing about older Unix books is their incredible
shelf life. I still use reference books from the 1990s for topics that
never quite get committed to memory.

Don't worry, it's likely to close next year:

While I love bookstores (and treasured my too-few visits to Foyle's in
London, which had compendious stock and stupendously rude staff),
they're just Amazon showrooms now.

cheers,
