I don't know about that book specifically, but if you want to know more
about the inner workings of BSD UNIX (FreeBSD not specifically, but...)
try 'The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System' by
McKusick/Bostic/Karels/Quarterman.
ISBN 0-201-54979-4, pub. Addison-Wesley.
2 of the authors are from BSD, inc.
it's a very good book about the internal architecture; I don't know about
cost, but it's worth it.

There's my 2 cents.
