To be fair, it's an optional requirement. The authors only recommend that you do.

We realize that some people may not enjoy having a NodeJS dependency so we've made this entirely optional (abcweb new --no-gulp), however we highly recommend using it due to the conveniences it provides.

I don't think that it's that unreasonable. It's possible that this particular restaurant might be in a very tourist heavy area of NYC. Also, there might just have been an influx of customers taking pictures for that time period. Who knows...

The Linux Command Line is definitely a good book. It's actually available for free here if anyone is interested: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

Try these for starters:
