good book if you want to learn more
This is a great book for intermediate users. So many useful tips that can save you a lot of time. The writer chose C shell as the primary shell for examples. But he didn't forget about korn shell. That's good for people like me who use bash on Linux. The only thing I don't like is the writer's attitude towards vi editor. However, his humor really makes this book easy to read. Get this book and you won't regret it.

My favorite guide to UNIX
This is one of those books that's simply fun to read. On top of that, it's pretty darn good about answering the questions you pulled it off the shelf for. UNIX masters may find few new tricks here, but it's a great book for the enthusiastic novice. The worst danger of reading this book is that you'll get sucked into a chapter other than the one you need to get an answer out of because something funny caught your eye.

I Still Use It! 5 Years Later!
I bought this book in '95 when it first came out and I needed to learn UNIX for my job. I was able to self-teach myself using the book and a shell account our sys adm guy set up for me. My only background before this was DOS. Today I still refer to the book even now and I recommend it to anyone trying to get a handle on files, script files, vi and all those other funs parts of UNIX.
