The canonical example was always "The Design and Implementation of the
4.4 BSD Operating System".
http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0201549794
Obviously some of this has been overtaken by developments in NetBSD,
but it is still a very good read. The equivalent book for SVR4 is
"The Magic Garden Explained".

Also worth reading is "UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers".
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131019082/104-7798500-5471162
At least, those are my top kernel books.
Cheers,
