Hi, I'm looking for a book which we help me learn the bash commands, both the general use ones and also the more advanced. I bought "Learning the bash shell, 2nd edition", but it was mainly focused on programming. I just want to learn bash commands, and preferably from a book. Please let me know if you know of any books.
Thanks, but if you'd have read my question properly it asks for a book on commands, and states that I already have a book n bash programming which I'd like to put away!

I use the Linux Pocket Guide by O'reilly. It focuses a lot on Fedora Core so it should be perfect for you, but the majority of it is various commands that apply to any linux distro. I keep it with me whenever I'm using Linux and it's an invaluable resource. The best part is that it's only $10US versus any other book that will be $30+.
The Linux in a Nutshell book published by O' Reilly has a great chapter on commands--it goes through most everything (it is over 300 pages worth of information). Here is a teaser:
