Two books I turn to mostly: UNIX System Administration handbook 3rd edition by Evi Nemeth et al. - a good general coverage, which breaks down the differences between how Redhat, Solaris, HP-UX, and FreeBSD handle things. O'reilly Unix in a Nutshell (3rd edition) - a little Solaris-centric, but good for reviewing commands in paper form, and a handy little resource for when I forget sed and awk syntax.
