   Even if you're relatively new to Linux or to shell scripting, this book will guide you painlessly through the steps needed to do some pretty advanced and very cool things with your computer. You can automate downloading content from your favourite websites, write reminder programs, set up word games, and so much more. The steps for each script are explained, so that you can modify them, hack bits of different scripts together, and get going with making your computer do what you want it to.

2. Amazing

   Some really good scripts in here from a a file backup utility to a shelll script game. If you are into this kind of thing then this is the book for you.

3. How to do some useful work with scripts

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, November 12th, 2004

   It is a well written useful book. The scripts are well described and often do a real world job, not something abstract like some other scripting books I could mention. A good read. I recommend it.
