RUTE user's Tutorial and Exposition by Paul Sheer
This is the book I link to whenever someone says, "I want to learn Linux". A tutorial for new users and a reference for advanced administrators.
Note: The PDF link on the author's website is broken, so I have mirrored the file.

Simple, down-to-earth advice on how to do backups.

This FAQ teaches you how technical documentaion ought to be written. In fact, it will also teach you that documentation needs to be written.
Mercurial: The Definitive Guide by Bryan O' Sullivan
Good documentation is important. Mercurial has it, Git and SVN don't. Written in simple, down-to-earth language, this book does not discriminate. A great read for everyone who wants to know about Mercurial, or Distributed Revision control systems in general.
