I just have a problem with any book featuring a grimacing author on the 
front cover - call it a reaction to Peter Norton, but it's just a turn off ...

ESR would probably classify this as non-hacker behaviour, on the grounds of 
"blowing your own trumpet", but it's more likely to be something the 
marketing people thought was a good idea ... whatever the cause, it 
encourages me to judge a book by its cover. :-)

I've got the large hardback "Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory 
Services" by a multitude of authors,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1578700701/o/qid=995882081/sr=2-1/ref=sr_sp_bow_1_1/202-5026081-0154267
and besides the very nice cover photo of a bridge :-) it's pretty into the 
theory, but none of the practice. Its vintage is mostly pre-product, so 
you're expected to go off programming yourself. Mind you, nothing ages like 
a product/version-specific book.
