Good, old friends
The C Language - by Kernighan and Ritchie
A color photo taken from above shows six classic computer science and programming textbooks arranged on a wooden parquet floor. The books are laid out in two loose rows. On the top row, from left to right, are "UNIX Network Programming" by W. Richard Stevens, "Distributed Systems" (second edition) edited by Sape Mullender, "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens, and "Algoritmi" (Italian edition) by Thomas H. Cormen and others. On the bottom row, slightly offset, are "C++ Corso di programmazione" (third edition, Italian) by Stanley B. Lippman and Josée Lajoie, and "Operating System Concepts" (fifth edition) by Silberschatz and Galvin. The covers show visible wear, suggesting well-used academic books, and the warm-toned wooden floor fills the background.
