Only a quick reference for powershell, but a good one for me: efficient and with some good examples. Be sure to look at the content to know if it has what you want: it neither list "standard" cmdlet (so it's not specific to administrator, poweruser or developper), nor explain how to create one with .NET.

Good:
Language basics described short and good.
Bad:
About 50% of this book contains description of regular expressions, XPath, string formatting options and other topics that are NOT specific for PowerShell, but there is NO (even short) description of standard PowerShell cmdlets.
