Two books --- one has already been mentioned (the K&R book on the ``UNIX
Programming Environment'').  

The second book you might want to look at is not specifically geared toward 
shell programming, but has lots of good examples.  I'm not too sure of the 
exact title, but it's something like ``Guide to UNIX System Administration'' 
or so.  I remember 2 of the 3 authors' names --- Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, 
and ....  I realize this information is rather rough, and the title is no
doubt at least partially wrong, but it should be a start.  If you want, send
me a direct reply, and I'll go look up the exact info for you.  Again, it's a
system admin book, but the examples in the back are very good.  between this
and the K&R book, you should be set.

hope this helps....
