hmmmm ... i've always been on the lookout for a good shell book since,
for the longest time, there was *nothing* worth buying.

as another recommendation, there's "classic shell scripting" from

(disclaimer:  i was one of the tech reviewers on this book.  and i
like the fact that it approaches shell scripting from the POSIX point
of view.)
