Yellow Book
Yellow Book /n./
The print version of this Jargon
File; "The New Hacker's Dictionary" from MIT Press; The book
includes essentially all the material the File, plus a Foreword by
Guy L. Steele Jr. and a Preface by Eric S. Raymond. Most
importantly, the book version is nicely typeset and includes almost
all of the infamous Crunchly cartoons by the Great Quux, each
attached to an appropriate entry. The first edition (1991, ISBN
0-262-68069-6) corresponded to the Jargon File version 2.9.6. The
second edition (1993, ISBN 0-262-68079-3) corresponded to the
Jargon
File 3.0.0. The third (1996, ISBN 0-262-68092-0) will correspond
to 4.0.0.
