David Korn <dkg@research.att.com> has written a book about the Korn
shell, which seems greatly respected in development circles.  The new
Korn shell is quite novel, but its roots are in the Bourne shell of yore
and David's knowledge is probably unsurpassed.

Of course, Tom Duff did a better job with RC, but he had no legacy to
contend with; he could _learn_ from previous mistakes instead of having
to be compatible with them.
