   Try the recent update on AWK from Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger, "The AWK
   Programming Language".  Published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company.  I
   paid about $22 (US) for it.  Doesn't cover SED but is great for AWK.

   Note that to run some of the constructions they use you need the new
   version of AWK.  On some machines this is found as NAWK.

One might also try the following:

The GAWK manual that comes with GNU awk, a nice manual.
Some older SYS V Programming Manuals have a chapter on awk programming (
my copy of the book coves the old awk, I've seen newer copies that cover
nawk )
