Excellent 
It has a lot of examples and every concept is well explained. This book is just great. Even for those who are not used to programming, this is a great book to start shell scripting.
The authors relate concepts (commands usage, for example) with those of bash and other shells, which is very helpful if you already know how to program with csh, Bourne, etc.
So. . . if you're looking for a GOOD book about ksh, buy this one!!.
Very Helpful Reference to KSH
I keep it on my desk all the time now, even for other shells (Bash/etc). I found this book very helpful in learning to write scripts for the Korn Shell. It's an invaluable reference to me.
A must if you use KSH
Put bluntly, this is one of the few O'Reilly books I have read cover to cover. While not as popular (at least in Linux circles) as bash, ksh is a powerful language/tool. That isn't to say that the others don't warrant a thorough perusal, but that this book was readily accessible and provided excellent information. I have used it as a reference countless times over the years and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone using or considering using ksh. Moreover, if you are considering using ksh - or perhaps need a better background in Unix shell scripting - read this book. .
