The best (and only) book I have seen about DOS is Rob Peck's Programmer's 
Guide to the Amiga published by Sybex. It has a very good chapter on AmigaDOS
with working examples. I couldn't find enough information in the AmigaDOS
manual or anywhere else to do some of the stuff he documented even after 
I knew how. There are also chapters on Exec, Graphics, Intuition, Devices
(ASIDE: not how to write one though. We could use a book on that) ,Animation,
Sound and Multitasking. It's a very nicely written book, much easier to follow
than much of the 'Official' stuff. Every programmer should have one.
