It would help a LOT if these were organized by something other than alphabet, or if these had some kind of five-word snippet describing what each command does. This is one of the few instances where alphabetizing doesn't do us any good -- if we knew what our command started with, we could just search for it.
UNIX Power Tools by O'Reilly & Associates remains one of the best collections of these tips and tricks I've found.
It's now nearly 20 years old, and the most recent (3rd) edition was published in 2002, and very likely could use some very serious updating, though it still remains useful. But in terms of books that really bumped up my game for understanding Unix (then dominant) and Linux, this book was key.
