Not books, but what about:

- [official Darwin documentation](https://developer.apple.com/library/
content/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/background/backgr
ound.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002848-TPXREF114)

- [XNU on github](https://github.com/opensource-
apple/xnu/blob/master/README.md)

- [PureDarwin Wiki](https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin/wiki)

macOS is very different now from 4.4BSD and despite it borrows NetBSD
userland, studying macOS by studying any BSD the way it is now can
lead to wasting too much time compared to the  useful knowledge you
may get in regard of macOS. Moreover a part of its the userland is
macOS only, starting from launchd and Apple documentation/man pages is
the only  good source to look up in these cases. Still,if you speak
about system management/administration only,then yes, the awesome *BSD
documentation can help you learn some useful commands
