I ordered this one and got a copy printed on really poor quality paper in India. WTF? Anyway, it is for uber-geeks, this is a classic for understanding the guts of Unix (and therefore OS X and LINUX) from the lowest level. A book that changed the world as well because it makes possible the development of kernel drivers and device drivers which led to graphics adapters and libraries and via a long path to Grand Theft Auto :)
