except tldp if you had to recommend only 1 book for learning bash scripting to someone who already knows linux basics which one would you recommend?

[Brief-Wishbone9091]

My requirements:
I don't read books line by line. I learn by solvng exercises given in the book. The exercises given in the book should have a kind of hint in the earlier chapter about it. i.e in theory.
That's all my requirement. Please recommend me a book.
I want to learn bash shell scripting as I decided that it's not optional to learn bash as a sysadmin.
bash scripting is mostly about sed, awk commands mastery so recommend 1 book for them as well and word processing and regular expressions in general.

Asked elsewhere and got no response, so asking here.
