The Linux phenomenon gets bigger by the day and more developers are drawn into developing for it. The heart of this very phenonmenon is its kernel and as time goes by it becomes more mature but also bigger and more complex. New developers would have trouble diving in and code for it, hence the "Linux Kernel Development" book by well known kernel hacker Robert Love (of preemptive-patch fame).

So far the 80 pages of the book I've read have been well written. I read the book with thought, and it was surprisingly easy to grasp the message. IMO, Linux Device Drivers book (see O'reilly) is not written as well, though it's a good read too. I would recommend this book for everyone interested in kernel mechanisms, not just people into Linux.
