I've heard about _The Awk Programming Language_ but could get my hands only on _The GNU Awk User's Guide_ by Arnold Robbins, since it's available as Info pages on my Linux box. It's also free online

https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html

It's a pretty good book which teaches you both techniques and the nitty-gritty. I recommend this.

Arnold Robbins' book is great, I really liked it and I really recommend it for those interested to learn awk.
