Abrahams and Bruce R. Larson, published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. ISBN-0-201-55703-7. UNIX Power Tools, by Jerry Peek, Tim O' Reilly, and Mike Loukides. Published by O'Reilly & Associates. This one is especially good because these authors tell you tricks from their real-life experience. Anyone else has other good suggestions?
