If you look major book sellers for Linux Kernel books, you will be disappointed, there aren’t many titles available, I remember a long time ago, when Alessandro Rubini wrote his first book about Linux Device Drivers, I think it was the first big hit, then shortly it became obsolete, as Linux runs fast.

Accordingly to Amazon the most popular Linux Kernel book nowadays is Linux Kernel Development written by Robert Love, in it’s second edition focused in version 2.6.

I was deeply involved in other subjects, reading piles of books when it came out few years ago. Right now in my vacations I had the opportunity to start reading it, you know, writing kernel code makes me relax, and I must say, Robert has talent, it’s very well written, clear and a not so simple subject becomes accessible, I recommend.
