If you just looking for the basics there is a chapter in
"A Practical Guide to Linux" Mark G. Sobell

Additionally has a good reference to many of the unix tools such as awk,
grep, cut, etc... going beyond the man references and giving some
practical examples. And goes into bash, tc shell.

And finally if your a Linus fan/stalker the forward is written by him :)

It was the book for one of my uni courses so there may be second hand
copies floating about the bookshops.
