I would recommend the Lions book at first, because it's a brilliant
illustration of how simple an effective OS can be. Modern OSs are too
big to be understood that easily. The fact that 6th Edition Unix is a
historical artifact can be seen as either an advantage or a
disadvantage :-) (But at least now you can get it for free to run on
your 11/70 emulator.)
