Get "The Kornshell Command and Programming Language" by Morris I. Bolsky
and David G. Korn.  The book is published by Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-516972-0.
It is very rigorous, and comprehensive.  I don't know how much it costs, I
got mine free.  I like it a lot, but take that with a grain of salt, since I
read the thing many times as one of the draft reviewers.  I did gave away all
my other shell books when I got it.
