Just today my wife asked me if we could get rid of "The Magic Garden, Explained", since I never use it. I told her it's just one of those books I like knowing is there even if I never crack it open again. Highly impractical in that it is so out of date (historical at this point) and from what I remember very well put together. It was so eye opening when I read it to see the inner workings of SVR4 and how every little bit of information had it's neat little place.
