Description Lowell Gilbert 2001-03-19 15:40:02 UTC 
The FAQ lists the previous edition of "The Complete FreeBSD"

Fix: The number of pages may be wrong; I don't have my copy at hand, and am
trusting the count Barnes & Noble lists...

Added bonus: handbook fix for the link to buy the book:
How-To-Repeat: 
ask Greg Lehey?

Hi grog

Can you confirm this?  I'll fix it if you're too busy to do it
yourself, but I'd like to get your "okay" first.

Thanks

They've just done a reprint, and it's possible that the ISBN has
changed.  I had the copies in my hands a couple of days ago, but I
don't have them any more.  I'd say go ahead and commit the change, but
maybe add the caveat that ISBN numbers are not unique.
