Hammer & Screwdriver Depends on your learning style.
Recommend going to a local bookstore and scanning through the pages of different books. Some offer more explanation, some more example. Also, be aware of the topics emphasized - some books may concentrate more on examples that are of topics you will not need to know (at least right now).

Also, you can decide on how much info you need - full manuals or the short pocket reference books. I actually have some of each depending on the topic and my needs.

A couple of books
I highly recommend the following:
  • Learning The Bash Shell
  • Unix Shell Programming, Third Edition
  • Bash Cookbook

I did a review of the Bash Cookbook on my blog if you are interested.
