https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/
some basic info but the whole thing does feel like an afterthought.
Probably a useful introduction for (Linux) newbies.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-User-Guide-Eben-Upton/dp/1119264367/
but published in Sep 2016 so doesn't cover new Raspbian based on Debian
Stretch with its systemd "don't think just surrender" approach to system
administration. Still useful in other areas but not exactly written as
an academic text.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Linux-Nutshell-OReilly-Ellen-Siever/dp/0596154488/
from 2009 but still great as a basic reference.

online not paper (I guess you can print them, the 2nd one has compiled
versions from their index page) but essential references for Bash work.
