The author is Gordon Letwin, basically the guy behind Microsoft's original OS/2 implementation, before they jumped ship from IBM and went with Windows.
So this is a little ironic:

His Inside OS/2 is well worth reading, not least of which for the gory details of how to shoehorn a "modern" OS into an 80286. From the front cover, he looks like a guy who could have written the whole OS himself in a weekend.
The back cover has a great quote from Gates calling OS/2 "the OS for the next 1000 great applications".
Awesome find, BioGeek.
