The Minix book[0] is probably as good a place to start as any.
It's quite heavily microkernel-oriented, but that's probably an
advantage - otherwise it's very easy to forget that all the world
isn't monolithic Unix.
After that, you might get some more information from looking at
the LDP's "The Linux Kernel"[1] which wil show you how a lot of
the stuff in the Minix book is anchored to Linux, and introduce
some of the more modern bits which the Minix book omits.
