Perhaps, but it quite old...it might be a better bet to invest in, say, something like a complete command reference or something. Or something completely different (a man with three buttocks!). Most of the best information one will ever need is free and readily available from the internet.
How about Unix Power Tools by O`Reily I know its probably over-kill and for someone who dose not understand shell programing or command path
stuff it can be confusing, but so far this book has taught me alot about the Slackware filesystem. Also this is a realtively new book. It was printed in 2002
If your a sorta-noob, id suggest: "Running Linux" by the O'Reily Group. Its a really comprehensive and (IMO) really well written guide to all the basics, and some intermediate stuff. Its not just technical as well, its got a lot about the philosophy of Linux and OSS, and what you should(not) expect. Frankly, many people I talk to could do to read that section.

That's i'll take a look into that book, i got these books already:
Linux In a Nushell, O'Reilly (Great book!)
Linux for windows addicts, Micheal Joseph Miller (Also a good book)
Learn linux mandrake in 24h, sams (Was a present, it's ok)
I recommned going to the tldp.org or looking through how-tos and web sites. Most of everything that you want to learn about Linux has allready been documented on the net. Even for programming with the shell, or c++, gtk and qt you will find many resources available. google.com/linux can be your best friend.
