_Unix_Power_Tools_, (Peek, O'Reilly, and Loukides) is a good book for
command-line tips and tricks. ISBN: 1-56592-260-3.  It's easy to pick
up (well, it's a huge book, but figuratively) and read a couple
paragraphs at random--you're bound to lean something, and the
information density is very high.  (eg: This is how you use X, and if
X doesn't do exactly what you want, you can use Y and Z to make it
behave in your specific situation...)

The tools are generally "old school" and some of the content (at least
in the second edition) is becoming dated, but I still find it valuable
to have around.
