Summary: Can't Live Without It
Comment: O'Reilly has become the de facto for techie books. They are immensely helpful when you just want to dig your feet in and get hardcore with coding. They make for easy reads. Examples are practical and clear.
I find this book to be a great reference tool when working on the Unix command line in the Bash Shell environment. I highly recommend this book if not for reading purposes but as an excellent source of feedback if you are not sure what commands you should be using.
Whilst you do have manpages, which are often handy, this book brings you clarity and elaboration when coding may not come to you that easy as it does for others. Learn Bash without bashing your skull on the keyboard in frustration.

Summary: Recommend highly!!!
Comment: This book is an excellent resource for Linux-literate individuals. I use it to tutor students and adults on Bash shell programming. For beginners, it may be too difficult, but the people with hands-on experience will appreciate its content of the each chapter. It lacks real-world examples but with imagination and creativity, you can easily drum up a number of viable samples. This book is not for people who need to be spoon-fed.

Summary: Very good book, but could be better
Comment: I like this book a lot. It covers all you need to know to fell comfortable with bash shell. However I find the explanation confusing, sometimes I had to read the same paragraph twice to figure out what did the author mean. Also it's not good to use as a reference, since a lot of code depends on previous examples, so one needs to go back to find where this came from. All in all a very good book, didn't see better one, so far.
