"The Design of the UNIX Operating System"
by Maurice J. Bach, Prentice-Hall, Inc. 1986
ISBN 0-13-201799-7

"This book fives a detailed description of the operating system.  It
concentrates on a description of UNIX System V produced by AT&T but
considers interesting features provided by other versions too.  It examines
major data structures and algorithms used in the operating system that
ultimately provide the users with the standard user interface".
from Ch. 1 pg.1 of TDOTUOS.

Hope this helps.
