When I first started learning Linux 5.2, there were some guides I found 
which did exactly what you are asking. It taught you how to use tar, ls, 
basic shell scripting, etc. It was a brilliant start. Unfortunately I've 
lost them over the years, but the word SAG seems to spring to mind. I 
think it was System Administrator Guide or something like that.

I'm sorry to be so vague, it was a long time ago, all I'm really trying 
to say is the net is an excellent resource for general Linux guides as 
well, you do not necessarily have to buy a book.
