There may be similar books, but this is the best. Even after 5 years, it describes the complete UNIX architecture and development philosophy in way no other book can touch. The architecture hasn't changed all that much since the 1970s (when I started writing code,) so I doubt this book will go out of date soon.

Read "The Art of UNIX Programming" by Eric S. Raymond (Addison Wesley). Then you will know.
