proposed additions to the 'books' subforum in the 'Dummies' forum

Over in the "UNIX for Dummies" forum there is a subforum:
"I'm new to Unix. Which books should I read?"

The 2 Bash guides and the Linux guide on this page:

The Linux Documentation Project: Guides

Have been really useful to me.

Also (though the same info can be found by typing 'info coreutils') the following made lots of things about UNIX file manipulation easier:
GNU coreutils manual - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
