Met Richard Jones, one of the authors of the book, at its original launch. Very nice guy. Bought the original book and did some heavy reading on it – if you get this book, be prepared to put time into it, it's readable but it's not one you can do a quick skim of – and I really profited from it. It should be required reading for all programmers.

(To be clear, I'm referring to the very first version, I haven't read the subsequent versions but given the quality of the first I'd be very surprised if they were any less good).

Edit2: https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/rej/gcbib/ - "[This] online bibliographic database includes nearly 3,000 garbage collection-related publications. It contains abstracts for some entries and URLs or DOIs for most of the electronically available ones, and is continually being updated. The database can be searched online or downloaded as BibTeX, PostScript, or PDF." Welcome to the ultimate rabbit hole I guess.
