"The Unix Programming Environment" is a seminal work for any Unix aficionado looking to deepen their knowledge of the platform. Kernighan and Pike do an excellent job of breaking down the core concepts of Unix and providing practical examples to reinforce the material.

In short, if you're looking to truly master Unix, "The Unix Programming Environment" should be the first book you grab. It sets the foundation for all that is to come and provides a thorough understanding of the platform and its utilities.
