Well the KRON shell is very close to the POSIX shell (the default shell is POSIX). I found Learning the Korn Shell from O'Reilly to be very easy to understand and follow. It should be a good place to start.

Good luck,

The best reference book I have seen is "Unix in a Nutshell" by O'Reilly & Assoc.

Short but thorough reference.
