Uhh. The Dummies series, perhaps? :-)

I'm sure you'll get differing opinions on this.  My suggestion?  Find a 
good bookstore and browse through it's Linux books and find what you like.

My problem with most computer books is they cover too much of some 
subjects and not enough of others.   The Dummies books are usually good, 
but in the case of the Linux ones they spend too much time on stuff you 
(as a newbie) will probably know (e.g. Firefox) and too little time on 
concepts and commands.

Then the books that do spend good time on the latter aren't aimed at 
those new to Linux.

Google is your friend.
