I recommend "How Linux Works" by Brian Ward (2004, No Starch Press).
Although parts are out of date and it is not specific to Fedora, it
gives a good, basic overview of Linux internals, which are common
across all distros.

The Fedora-specific books I've seen have tended to be tutorial-type
guides and command references; as such, they only tend to cover the
material Ward has in passing.
