They're both new edition of "classics". I got the first edition
of APUE and the new one of AUP. Both are good. My personal favo-
rite is Stevens' book, but then I bought APUE a long time before
AUP and learned a lot from it. APUE seems to have a slightly hig-
her information density (which you might consider an advantage or
disadvantage). The best advice probably is to go (if possible) to
a bookshop that has both in stock and try to read a bit in them
and pick the one you enjoy more (or both if you can't come to a
conclusion and you have the money;-)
