Given how many books are constantly being produced about Web production of various kinds, it's wonderful to come across something which is actually unique: Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing. Philip is Philip Greenspun. founder of open source content management system Ars Digita. Alex is Philip's dog, and both are pictured on the book's cover. Look at Greenspun's take on server operating systems in chapter 8. Never have I read such an honest and useful real-world contextualization of Windows NT and UNIX. It's a wonderful breath of fresh air, and very typical of the book as a whole. Mixed in with this technical and management wisdom are wonderful photographs by the author which seem to remind us why on earth we work and publish in the first place.
