This is one of the small things I have obsessed over for quite sometime now.  This is a book that arrived on my desk a little over a year ago that instantly got my attention.  Now, textbook companies use all sorts of strange art and designs to adorn the covers of their work but I truly believe this takes the cake.  This is a book about Computer Operating Systems and it has dinosaurs on the cover. DINOSAURS!?!?!? So, as this popped up on my Half.com inventory and reminded me it existed I decided to share it with you all so we can all bask in the pre-historic beauty.  I did a simple google search for the title and what did I find?  EVERY EDITION OF THE BOOK HAS DINOSAURS ON THE COVER!!!!  WTF?!?!?!? Editions: First Edition Second Edition Third Edition Fourth Edition Fifth Edition Sixth Edition Seventh Edition Eighth Edition This is truly an anomaly.  I would like to meet this Silberschatz fellow and pick his brain for a minute.  P.S. If you would like to purchase the book go HERE and purchase from kennelbookstore(that’s me).  For only $5 you could have your very own OS Concepts book with dinosaurs on the cover…yes…dinosaurs.
