Kernighan and Pike: The Unix Programming Environment, Prentice-Hall.  This
is largely about sh.  There is also a book on the Korn shell (presumably by
David Korn) that I've heard is good but haven't seen; I don't see why
anyone needs to learn about csh any more, since ksh essentially supersedes
it and there are very few existing nontrivial csh scripts needing to be
maintained.
