As for a good book, I have the one from O'Reilly Books -
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bash3/index.html#top

I highly recommend it.

And for websites, I use http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ and have seen it
recommended by others as well.  You could do it all with just the
website.  But I find the book very practical so worth the money in my
opinion.  Between those two you are good to go.

Throw in Linux in a nutshell also from O'Reilly if you need a good
reference book on Linux in general and you are well on your way.  I
also have that one on my shelf and referred to it frequently for a
while.  Again you can find all that info online for free.  But I like
having the book to read in the evenings, when travelling, and as a
desktop reference.
