Ask HN: Any good books on database engine design

I know the general answer is read the source code of a popular DBMS like SQLite but I would prefer a book so I can also read about the rational behind design decisions and references as well. Cheers.

I'd ask on the Postgres list, maybe they've got some recommendations.
