Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD by Michael Lucas, Jordan 
Hubbard (Foreword)

The FreeBSD Handbook: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Check the bargin bins for old UNIX Books, focus on the ones that are 
based on BSD UNIX (Next/Openstep, SunOS/Solaris) and stay away from SysV 
based UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, SCO, etc.) UNIX History:

And as allways google (and amazon) is your friend.
