Despite its size, this book has various defects.
First of all, while it covers the memory systems with a
great amount of detail, the file system and the description
of the actual kernel are vague.
Second, the index and table of contents make it quite
difficult to find your way around the book. As a rule
of thumb, an index should have two entries per page of
text. This book falls way short of that.
I bought this book as part of a kernel programming class,
and was falling behind until I got a copy of the other book:
