Second edition (CRC Press, 2023) of the canonical GC survey: mark-sweep, copying, mark-compact, reference counting, generational, concurrent, and real-time collectors, plus the modern Shenandoah / ZGC / G1 algorithms. The 1996 first edition was already the standard reference; the 2nd doubles in size and brings in the post-2010 low-pause work. On the eatonphil-bookclub speculative future list.
