Books
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:
Core Specification (Layer, Services, LiveCycle part)
Compendium Specification
Enterprise Specification
Visit the OSGi Alliance Specifications page to download the specifications for free.
Apart from the specifications a number of books have recently been published.
They are listed here in no particular order:
OSGi in Action;
Richard Hall, Karl Pauls, Stuart McCulloch, David Savage;
Manning Publications, 2011.
Covers most (if not all) of R 4.2 specs and also contains a lot of side information.

OSGi and Equinox: creating highly modular Java systems;
Jeff McAffer, Paul VanderLei, Simon Archer;
Addison-Wesley, 2010.
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.
OSGi in Depth;
Alexandre de Castro Alves;
Manning, 2011.
I cannot say anything on this book except that he seems to have used Apache Felix for the samples----

Holly Cummins, Timothy Ward;
Manning, 2013 Covers Enterprise OSGi specifications, which are becoming more and more important.
Java Application Architecture: Modularity Patterns with Examples Using OSGi (Agile Software Development Series);
