Pink-shirt book
publication
“The Peter Norton Programmer’s Guide to the IBM PC”.
The original cover featured a picture of Peter Norton with a silly smirk on his face, wearing a pink shirt. Perhaps in recognition of this usage, the current edition has a different picture of Norton wearing a pink shirt.
