I've got both one-liners books (Sed and Awk). Peteris takes a very practical approach in the book. I almost think of it like a field guide. Think of the times you've google searched for something like 'number lines in file sed'. These books not only provide solutions, but give detailed explanations of what's happening. Pick any given example and there's a good chance you'll gain some insight about how sed/awk work. They're very well written, and very accessible. Having said that, if you're a long beard who has long been acquainted with these tools, you could maybe skip them.
