For context, this is a draft copy of The UNIX-HATERS Handbook from two years before publication. It was presumably sent to Jay Lepreau for feedback and I think this is the only surviving copy. Jay worked with UNIX throughout his career and it was found among his papers, along with the UNIX V4 tape. I will be scanning it.

Personally, I found the book to be quite a fun read. It's a bunch of sore losers to UNIX's success. The anti-forward by Dennis Ritchie is a treat.
