I just ordered this book from Amazon.com.  It sounds like it is going to
be a great resource.  Here is the info on the book:

   Title:  The Design & Implementation of the 4.4 BSD UNIX Operating
Systems

   ISBN:  0-201-54979-4
   Binding:  Cloth Text

I ordered it from :
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0201549794/3851-0340444-430223 

for $38.80 plus $3.95 shipping.

Hope this helps someone......
