Try the recent update on AWK from Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger, "The AWK
Programming Language". Published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. I
paid about $22 (US) for it. Doesn't cover SED but is great for AWK.
Note that to run some of the constructions they use you need the new
version of AWK. On some machines this is found as NAWK.
