Looking for a UNIX book

["Donald J. Plummer" <donp -at- BGNET -dot- BGSU -dot- EDU>]

Techwrl-rs:

Are there any *really* good UNIX books out there?  I am looking for a book
that meets the following criteria:

1.  It is a well-written example of technical communication.

2.  It has lots of "learn by doing" examples, especially for the more
arcane commands like 'awk' and 'sed.'  I am having trouble learning the
search syntaxes for these commands, mainly because I am the kind of person
who learns best by doing them rather than just reading about them.

I searched the TECHWR-L archives but found no book recommendations.  Please
respond to me offline--if there is a lot of interest in the information, I
will summarize to the list.

Thank you in advance.

they need to know, because they want
to know something else.
