   K & R is still in print.   
      
   Unix/Linux In A Nutshell have less value as they're mostly reference   
   books and the info is available via man or web searching.  I should   
   know, as I wrote the last two editions of "Unix In A Nutshell".   
      
   However, O'Reilly and other publishers are still publishing paper   
   books, with the books being available in soft copy as well, which   
   many people prefer.   
      
   For instance, Pearson just published the second edition of my book   
   on basic *nix programming.
