there is a (NEW?) book from Abacus that is telling you about some dark secrets
about the amiga. It is called "AMIGA SYSTEM PROGRAMMING GUIDE"
and there is a PART II scheduled (more exactly : ADVNCED SYSTEM PROGRAMMING)

why is that book interesting ? 
because it tells you about things like reset proof subroutines, direct 
access to the hardware (what ? do I hear some BOOOHOOO!!! in the background ?
hey its my life not yours !!! -my computer too-) like copper lists, blitter
etc...

the book is $35 and the disk $15. the program on the disk are fully documented.
and for once they are not written in C. they are in ASM .
