Apprently jem has never been to a library, aka bathroom.
That's the perfect place for this book... to pick up and peruse while you're just sitting there for a few minutes. It's a great way to discover some commands you might not have been aware of before, or interesting switches for commands you have used. This book is the reason I got so fond of many commands that I'd never have known about otherwise.
It's not often that a person would just start going through a list of manpages, but to leaf through a physical book is a tangible way to discover what exists on your machine.
I've always recommended this book, especially to newbies, and will continue to do so.
