Two books I would recommend:
The Complete Linux Reference by Richard Petersen
ISBN 0-07-212164-5
I haven't read all of it, I got it mainly for reference. I must say, it's
been worth it.
RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Study Guide
ISBN 0-07-212155-6
Bought this one as a study guide for the exam. Haven't completed it yet
(been side-tracked by other things), but I must say it has down to earth
examples and reasoning. It will take you through most everything on a Red
Hat system. With enough examples to get you started. Granted you won't be
an expert at everything but it has enough information for a solid start.

I do not know "Linux in a Nutshell".
But I can recommend "Running Linux" (O'Reilly) -- I am new to GNU/LINUX,
knowing nearly nothing on the system, and I can clearly say that
this book probably is responsible for the fact, that I was able
in about 4 weeks or so after starting with GNU/LINUX to setup a
working ISDN to my machine .... I simply copied some ISDN-scripts they're
offering in the book ... and after 2 or 3 friendly additional advice
from lists I had an Internet connection with my GNU ...
Best of it: the authors of it can write ...
I often use it together with the new man's on my box, because IIRC
I've heard ( -- I don't know whether this is correct ...) that the
infos in the book sometimes are a bit outdated ---
nevertheless: without this book I probably even today wouldn't have
an Internet connection with LINUX ...
The book has about 730 pages (Index about 28 pages ...)

They are both up to 3rd editions. While I haven't seen the latest editions,
I image they're at least as good as the second editions.
