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:
“My books are water; those of the great geniuses is wine. Everybody drinks water.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
