I recommend William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line, available in PDF

Just correcting one of your claims below.

Actually, it's both console and GUI. If you run Emacs under X11, Emacspeak
will still work because it runs as an extension of Emacs. It is not a screen
reader - think of it as a speech-based interface to Emacs.

By contrast, if you run Emacs under Gnome with Orca, it won't be accessible;
you have to run it as a terminal application if you want to access it in Orca
(i.e., the GTK+ interface of Emacs is not accessible, but this doesn't much
matter since we have Emacspeak, and for braille access we can run Emacs as a
terminal/ncurses application).
