Hi! Two books I have found extremely useful are LINUX: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition which can be found online here: (yes, it's the whole thing and legal, read the link at the top)
http://linux.tnc.edu.tw/techdoc/linux-books/rute/ It's also handy to have a good command refrence. The best one I have run across so far (aside from man) is the Linux Desk Reference (Open Source Technology Series) second edition. Got it from Borders. I have also found it useful in some cases (look at man for tar or mkisofs) to print out the man page for the command in question, highlight the options you may actually use, and stick the paper in a binder to refer back to two months down the road when you've forgotten all about it and need to reinvent the wheel.
