Stevens was a (justifiably) respected author on the topics he
covered in that book (and his other books), and it will be a
useful source of information for you.

Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that all the material
you will find there is correct.  He had a tendency to make
mistakes in quite important areas (e.g., most signal handlers in
his books are plain wrong), perhaps in the interest of making
things shorter for pedagogical purposes or perhaps through
simple carelessness.  At any rate, take nothing as gospel, even
though the book is a useful tool.
