"Apache Server Commentary" book

Subtitle: Guide to Insider's Knowledge on Apache Server Code

Hmm.  Not entirely sure what to think about it, especially without seeing
it.  Wonder about the "Insider's Knowledge" bit.  Wouldn't "Insider's
Knowledge" require being an "insider", whatever that is?

The power of open source at work!  Everybody can become an insider 
by reading the source.

Reading the web page I think the major feature of the book is:

 o Includes extensive cross-referencing and architectural flow charts to
   enhance understanding of the structure of the [apache source] code.

Sure sounds useful, though I have yet to see the book of course.
