Recommend sources to learn about Market Making theory?

Hey guys,

I am applying to the Prop Trading firms in US and Europe(CTC, Optiver, IMC, etc). From the interview question examples it seems that those firms really like to get into market making specifics. I know the basics of what is going on but want to make sure I understand the details as well (and not to get surprised by some during interviews). Can you recommend any good resources to learn about market making trading?
