You mean about how GCs work? I have the book "Garbage Collection: 
Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management" by Richard 
Jones, Rafael D Lins. I can recommend it. It is not too technical 
that it gets too hard. But it doesn't tell the reader how to 
write a GC. It's more an overview of various approaches in GC 
construction.
