Am I the only one who was expecting a design guide for consistent and partition-tolerant systems?

Imagined that the author must have dropped the A because all CAP is not possible !

The cover is reminiscent of K&R 2nd edition.

It was done on purpose as an homage. I loved to read K&R when I got started with C. The sight of the cover brings up so many good memories.

I still have my copy from 1988 somewhere. Classic book and format.

It could have been worse. The initial title was "The book of CPS". Which HN told me could also be interpreted as Child Protection Services.

Could've been "The book of CP-System arcades" (Even me as an old gamedev was wodnering why the Wolf/Doom guy was doing distributed systems :D )
