+<p>The most important "books" on OSGi are of course the specifications themselves. They are quite a good read but are also complete and contain stuff, you might be interested
+in. So for a starter you might interested to read the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Core Specification (Layer, Services, LiveCycle part)</li>
+<li>Compendium Specification</li>
+<li>Enterprise Specification</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Visit the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage">OSGi Alliance Specifications</a> page to download the specifications for free.</p>
+<p>Apart from the specifications a number of books have recently been published. They are listed here in no particular order:</p>
+<ul>

+Despite its dependency on Equinox it might be helpful, because they use Declarative Services intensely for their sample application throughout the book and we use Declarative Services intensely, too.</li>
