Morgan Kaufmann (1992). Gray and Reuter's 1000+ page tome on what a transaction processing system actually is, end to end — file systems, locking, logging, two-phase commit, fault tolerance, performance. Written from production-DB-vendor experience, less formal than concurrency-control-and-recovery-in-database-systems and broader. On the eatonphil-bookclub speculative future list.
