> what does AT&T have to do with the plan 9 release?

Don't know - I was just going by the fact that the 2nd release
manuals have the AT&T logo on the spine, and were Copyright AT&T.

I am not sure how ownership/responsibility is divided amoungst
AT&T, Lucent, Bell Labs, Harcourt Brace, Vita Nuova etc.

Is it perhaps the case the Harcourt Brace was engaged by AT&T
as exclusive packager/distributor for the second release, and
Vita Nuova is the first of possibly many non-exclusive 
packer/distributors of Lucent's release.?

It isn't obvious to me if Lucent will be printing and selling
documentation to resellers and end-users, or if the resellers
will be responsible for arranging their own printing.

Regards,
DigbyT
