[GTALUG] Suggestions: A Book for a Beginner, new to the Linux Shell

[phiscock at ee.ryerson.ca]

I learned the command line from a charming and very readable book:
'Starting with Unix' by P.J.Brown. It appears on Amazon for the princely
sum of $1.05, and probably available used through ABE (Academic Book
Exchange) or other used book dealers.

Who would have thought that a book on the Unix command line could be an
entertaining read? But it is.

It's not hugely comprehensive, but it's great as a starting point.
