A good beginner's book on Multithreaded programming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I would describe the books as concise, precise and extremely readable. The authors use fluid language and use the right technical terms in the right places. One of the best Computer Science books I have ever read. Definitely a good reference(though the book is not a comprehensive Operating Systems book) for a beginner who is looking to gain conceptual knowledge about Operating Systems in general and Multithreading in particular.
Very good book but newer edition by same authors is better.

This was an excellent book with detailed coverage of threads programming even down to how various hardware architectures affect multithreaded program behavior. However there is a more current edition under a different name (Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads) by the same authors that is more current that I would recommend instead (everything in this book is in the newer book).
Great Intro to the Concepts and Issues of Thread Programming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
A well written book that clearly explains the concepts and issues of thread programming. It provides the neccessary background information to understand the overall thread context and then describes the specific issues in turn. It does not over whelm the reader with technical details but concentrates on one issue at a time. It's a great book that I highly recommend!
Best introduction guide to threads programming on the market
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book, true to other Solaris and Sun manual style, is concise and to the point. This is probably the best introduction to Threads Programming in existence. Lewis and Berg's style is almost reassuring as you learn the basics to threads programming, even for non-Solaris users. If the world of computing and how-to books were written in this style, the reader could learn anything.
