On-line I don't know - certainly nothing better than Minix' man pages.
You might look at some of the Linux Documentation Project - eg. First
Steps into Unix, which I guess will be somewhere on sunsite.unc.edu (or
a mirror).

As for books, there are a *lot* - Kernighan and Pike, The Unix Programming
Environment, seems one possibility.  Another is Rochkind, Advanced Unix
Programming, which I found very useful for the basic concepts of Minix
programming (ignore the 'Advanced', it's an old book).
