UNIX Shell Programming by Kochan and Wood (Hayden Books, 1985)
touches on ksh a bit, as may some others.

The definitive answer, however, is on the way.  Dr. David Korn's book on
ksh is in the final stages of editing and should be out "real soon now."  
(Publisher - Prentice-Hall, I believe)

I had the pleasure of reading a pre-release review copy.  Nicely done.
Succinct, but not "underly" terse.  Good ksh programming examples, using a
ksh implementation of the MH mail handler.
