For a book, Linux in a Nutshell, is what you want to get.

OOoh Oooh! My turn, http://www.unixguide.net/linux/linuxshortcuts.shtml. This one is more for quick little shortcuts like <Tab> completion and other things, still a good read.

Try Unix Power Tools, not only learns you the commandline tools, but also very clever ways of working with them.
