My absolute two most-used books are
Programming Perl and Perl Cookbook both from O'Reilly. Programming Perl is in its 3rd edition now. I own the 2nd -- the third edition is significantly thicker and appears to be just as good as previous versions.
My most used Unix book is one that is now out of print:

Another very dog-eared favorite is C, How to Program
I have the 2nd edition (link is to the 3rd edition which looks to be even better), and use it as a reference frequently. While not strictly a Unix book, my involvement in programming has helped me grow and learn in the Unix environment too, due to the vast array of free compilers, debuggers, etc available on a Unix platform.
I have quite a few other technical books, but these are, by far, the most valuable...
