Not specifically Ubuntu, but O'Reilly's Linux Pocket Guide is really useful for your basic bash commands. I've found it to be really useful.

Just to be clear the prices are not per book. I don't know if anyone else here stood dangerously long in that misunderstanding, almost preventing them from pulling the trigger. It's $1 for all the books on the first tier, $8 for all the books on the first and second tiers, or $15 for all of the books on the page. At first I was like, well maybe I'll get this book, this book, and that book. But then it was a no-brainer. In fact on the recommendation of a couple of posts here for DNS & Bind, I bought the whole hog.
