Thank goodness for tech writers like Michael W. Lucas, who have senses of humor and aren't afraid to show this off in their books. Most tech books are as much fun to read as the ingredients on a box of breakfast cereal -- not this one. If you are running (or planning to run) OpenBSD, you will want this.
The only downside is that it needs updating -- badly. I have the 2nd edition ... and much has changed since the book was released. This is of course a testament to the vigor of OpenBSD, but it makes writing books about the system kind of a pain.

My only complaint is that it doesn't automatically update content with each release of OpenBSD. The man pages do, at least.
