You mean about how GCs work? I have the book "Garbage
Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management"
by Richard Jones, Rafael D Lins. I can recommend it. It is not
too technical that it gets too hard. But it doesn't tell the
reader how to write a GC. It's more an overview of various
approaches in GC construction.
Seems like we were all in parallel with our book recommendations;
only some minutes apart ...
