Re:Ask HN: Best Open Source Beginners Book for learning Shell by Gyy0 on Thursday December 05, 2013 @10:52AM (#6854997)
I love Paul Sheer's "LINUX: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition" [1] It is about much more than just the shell, but you can stop whenever you want.

That was my "free" book recommendation, if you want to buy a "regular" book, then "The Unix Programming Environment" [2] can't be beat. You can find a dirt cheap "low cost edition", or buy it second hand online.
