I'm rather found of my "Linux: The Complete Reference 2nd ed" by McGraw Hill.
Though it's biased towards Caldera's Open Linux and was published in 1998,
the discussion of things like Bash shell scripting and using basic commands
like grep and sed is pretty invaluable. Each chapter has a nice concise
reference at the end which is especially nice for the Bash commands.
