You can try out "Managing Projects with GNU Make (Nutshell Handbooks)" book from ORielly publication. It is a nice book for understanding Make Utility.

You can find the details at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596006101?tag=flazx-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0596006101&adid=0EN45W92PQCA28N8JJW2&

You beat me to it. :-) This book will serve you well, and it covers several different versions of Make. Buy it; you won't regret doing so.
