I'm reading Advanced Scripting Recipes, Chris F.A. Johnson, at the
moment (it was in Ottakar's, and I have a policy about buying
interesting books there to encourage them to buy more.

I'd also suggest:

Pike's Practice of Programming.

Raymond's Art of Unix Programming.

Lundstrom, A Few Good Men From Univac

Brooks, The Mythical Man Month.

These aren't "keep around to use as reference" books, but they are
*well* worth reading.

The O'Reilly Exim book is great if you use Exim

cheers, Rich.
