I desperately hope she makes it back, she's kind of an amazing person.
Every edition of that book has been better than the last and it's insanely useful, especially to people who aren't familiar with the way Unix & Linux work at a low level. It's the first book I toss at new sysadmins and devs who need to learn about Unix, even before "Essential System Administration" or "The Practice of System and Network Administration". The latter two are good for why you should do things, but ULSAH tells you what, where, and how and explains the different methods and tradeoffs. I haven't picked it up in a year or two, but I keep it around because when I do get stuck with some random AIX box or creaky old Hockypux system it's essential.
