I have always been a huge fan of O’Reilly books—known for the animals on their covers—but I am surprised that I have six from O’Reilly’s Hacks Series in my small collection of technology books! None of the following has an animal on the cover:
BSD Hacks

Linux Server Hacks
Mapping Hacks
Spidering Hacks
