Mandarin,

It would help if you chose a version of UNIX. Yes, there are generic unix books. but flavors make it more specific.

I will give you a few books, just to get you started.

"UNIX in a Nutshell" By O'Reilly... good general book with most all commands.

"UNIX Sytem Administration Handbook" 2nd ed or 3rd ed out now... by Nemeth/Snyder/Seebass/Hein... aka "the red book" ... I think the 3rd ed is purple cover.

"Unix Hints and Hacks" by Waingrow... and oldie but offers neat tips and tricks...
