That's the title, and author, with a typo.

Hmm...what's this? Anybody know?

International Standard Book Number. Does anyone have any pointers to
what the encoding is in these?

This is where the cards get filed. A subject card goes under "UNIX
(Computer operating system), and a Title/Author card under "Leffler,
Samuel J.". I think there should also be "II. Karels, Michael" and
another for the third author (who's name escapes me at the moment).
There should then be "IV. Title." to indicate that a Title/Author card
goes under the title.

Here's that "p. cm." again. What IS that?

This is the library of congress number for shelving.

"005.4'3--dc19" is the Dewey number for shelving.
What is the "88-22809 CIP"?

Hmmm...now you know what I know. Does anyone have any pointers to the
meaning of all the stuff in this now-standard format? It started
appearing regularly in books about 4 years ago.
Thanks.
