Stanley-Marbell, Phillip (2003), Inferno Programming with Limbo, Chichester: John Wiley & Sons describes the 3rd edition of the Inferno operating system, though it focuses more on the Limbo language and its interfaces to the Inferno system, than on the Inferno system itself. For example, it provides little information on Inferno's versatile command shell, which is understandable since it is a programming language textbook.
Another textbook, Stuart, Brian (2008), Principles of Operating Systems: Design and Applications, Course Technology, ISBN 1-4188-3769-5, uses Inferno for examples of operating system design.
Atkins, Martin; Forsyth, Charles; Pike, Rob; Trickey, Howard, The Inferno Programming Book: An Introduction to Programming for the Inferno Distributed System was to provide the operating-system-centric point of view, but was never completed.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“All ... forms of consensus about “great” books and “perennial” problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of “what is already known.” Those great books don’t only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“What I am now warning the People of is, That the News-Papers of this Island are as pernicious to weak Heads in England as ever Books of Chivalry to Spain; and therefore shall do all that in me lies, with the utmost Care and Vigilance imaginable, to prevent these growing Evils.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
