The Camel book is the only one of the O'Reilly books I have that
actually copyrights the use of an animal.
"The use of a camel image in association with the Perl language is a
trademark of O'Reilly Associates".
You don't see similar statements in the Rhino book or the Spider book.
(OK, trademarking a spider in relation to the web may be a bit tricky).
