To be honest, I find The Unix Programming Environment by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike much, much better. The book truly captures the Unix philosophy and teaches you the idioms. It's unsurprisingly since it comes from the original Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center and the authors are extraordinary technical writers.
