Tanenbaum's book is a great read. Some of the stuff it contains is
useful even after years. I also like the following book a lot:
Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, Greg Gagne
"Operating Systems' Concepts"
Sixth Edition
Wiley Press
ISBN: 0-471-41743-2

a bit difficult as an introductory text for userland work, but it's
definitely one of the most appreciated items of my book collection :)
