You might want to try _The AWK Programming Language_ by Alfred V. Aho, Brian
W. Kernighan, and Peter J. Weinberger (the three people awk is named after).
It's published by Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-07981-X

You might also try _The Unix Programming Environment_ by Brian W. Kernighan
and Rob Pike.  Published by Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-937681-X.  Has about
8 pages on sed, and 13 on awk.

A third book I would recommend (which one would not normally look for
information like this) is _Unix Text Processing_ by Dale Dougherty and Tim
O'Reilly.  Published by Hayden Books, ISBN 0-672-46291-5.  About 20 pages on
sed and 23 on awk.

			Share and Enjoy!
