I learned sed from the book Sed & Awk by Dougherty and Robbins. http://amazon.com/dp/1565922255 I highly recommend it. Of the three utilities ed, sed, and vi, sed is probably the most challenging because it doesn't have an interactive mode. With ed or vi you can always do something interactively if you don't know the relevant command, but sed forces you to understand the commands if you want to get anything done. Learning sed will make you a better user of ed and vi.
