If you administer your home machine, you have some experience on SA.
For LPIC level 1, you are not required to have extensive knowledge on each subject.

It is not so difficult, all you have to do is read the
objectives(http://www.lpi.org/p-index.html), check key files, terms,
and utilities mentioned in the objectives.

It is not LPI specific, but if you want a good book on Linux SA, I
would recommend "Linux Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth et al.
ISBN is 0130084662. This book cover the subject of Level 2(and much more).

If you need a book on shell script, buy "Learning the Bash Shell, 2nd
Edition" by Cameron Newham. Or download "Advanced Bash-Scripting
Guide" from LDP page(http://www.tldp.org/guides.html)
