well, the best idea i would suggest is -
1. start by some very simple books. google for some newbie guides, L/Unix for dummies, basics of unix/linux, teach yourself unix in 24 hrs, 24 days, months etc..(it should be years, actually.. remember Peter Norvig's "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years" ?!?!)
2. then slowly move to shell scripting (the same way - newbie guides, etc)
3. while doing this two steps, you will automatically find yourself the books you are looking for.
