When I was working on the help desk and wanting to get a working knowledge of Unix, I bought Unix for Dummies (yes, the yellow and black books with the weird cartoon guy on the cover). It was actually pretty decent as an introduction.
After that, I recommend browsing O'Reilly books, those are mostly very good and cover a wide variety of Unix topics.

NAME
mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/hylafax/bin/mkcover qfile template result
DESCRIPTION
bin/mkcover is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
be retried. It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities and transmitted as the cover
page. The arguments are:
qfile the job description file for the outbound job.
template the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.
result the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.
The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document. The
template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not the
template file contains compressed data.
