Reddit reviews A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux (4th Edition)

For cash-in-pocket noobs who like to have a book in hand I'd recommend any of these books by Mark G. Sobell.

A Practical Guide to Linux
Old (1997) but takes you from the basics to intermediate.

A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, 4th. Ed.
Also covers the basics but it's more focused on those subjects included in the title.

A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux, 4th. Ed
I have no experience with this book but I'm including it for completeness.

A Practical Guide to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 7th. Ed.
Same. No experience.

If you want a book, Sobell's Linux series is good. I learned a lot about the command line from it.
