There is a "Bash Guide for Beginners" by Machtelet Garrels free on the 
Internet, and then there's a bigger  book,
"Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial" by Vivek Gite (vivek at nixcraft.com), and 
then there's a really fat book, actually two, called
"Advanced Bash Scripting Guide" by Mendel Cooper, also downloadable.  
Set your printer for duplex, and buy lotsd of paper!
