not nearly as cool, but this was the textbook for my OS class in college: http://www.amazon.com/Operating-System-Concepts-Windows-Update/dp/0471250600
In distributed algorithms (locking is a distributed algorithm that selects among processes to execute) bounded-waiting and fairness are closely related.
Bounded-waiting means that there is a finite limit on the number of times a process may be skipped (not-chosen).
Peterson's Algorithm, Dekker's Algorithm, and Lamport's Bakery Algorithm (link) are three well-known mutual exclusion algorithms.
The Dinosaur Book covers Dekker's and Peterson's algorithms in addition to broken (unfair, unsafe, require turn-taking) variants on these.
I have the perfect book for you.
