I have got a copy of 'Unix Shell Programming Tools' by David Medinets
It covers basic bash scripting as well as having some information on
Perl and Tcl/Tk (neither of which I've read) It also has a chapter
giving brief (several page) descriptions of a lot of utlities like grep,
find and test. (but it doesn't cover awk or sed, which probably won't
bother you)
I found it a lot of help when I was starting to deal with shell scripts.
