A bit dated (at least the edition I read), but I love the practical approach. Easy to get your hands a bit dirty on the command line and walk away with a pretty great base from which you can jump into deeper waters. Plus, it's formatted in LaTex and has that textual feel.

but then again, i've never really been in to cookbook style books.
