For me the two-volume book "UNIX System Readings and Applications", 
published by Prentice Hall in 1987 and 1988, which are reprints of the 
two Unix special issues of the The Bell System Technical Journal:

- Vol. 57, No. 6, July-August 1978 (ISBN 0-13-939845-7),
- Vol. 63, No. 8, October 1984 (ISBN 0-13-939845-7).

They contain seminal papers describing Unix and its tools.
