Hands-On KornShell 93 Programming
It is a reference book that you can learn from. This is a great book because it has short, practical, working examples of all ksh commands. Between this, "Unix in a nutshell", and Unix man-pages - I need nothing more for day to day Unix tasks.

Great Kornshell Book
Full of examples and solutions to everyday problems. Rosenberg's book is excellent. I've not used the CD-ROM so can't rate it. Note: too bad the older ksh88 is so widely used vs. ksh93. However, with Solaris 6, 7 and 8 you can have both using /bin/ksh (88) and /usr/dt/bin/dtksh (93). Using the later might just pull me away from perl programming given all the powerful features in ksh93. Great book and a great shell.

The best KornShell book your money can buy.
This book takes us to the next level and provides all the information for both the novice and experienced programmer or system adminstrator. I also have the first edition, which has come in very useful on many ocassions over the past few years, and holds a prime place on my shelf. It even takes us into the realms of HTML and CGI. This book is about KornShell programming, not a free software package. Look to GNU or FSF for that. For those that are running NT, look into the new "NT Services for UNIX" from Microsoft, which provides KornShell, a bunch of UNIX utilities, and better networking capabilities. To sum up, this book will go with the other one, close at hand.
