_The AWK Programming Language_ ( https://smile.amazon.com/AWK-Programming-Language-Alfred-Aho/dp/020107981X https://smile.amazon.com/AWK-Programming-Language-Alfred-Aho... ) is one of the best programming books, on any language, in my opinion. Worth reading even if you don't use awk. In less than 200 pages it covers an introduction to the language, through to implementing a relational database, recursive-descent parsing, and graph-based algorithms.
For gawk, the manual covers the gaps between the language introduced in the book and the latest implementation.
