For "stupid user" books there are:
        Point & Click Linux!
        Linux For Dummies
        Linux For The Rest Of Us

Before installing a distro you can play with some of the Live CDs available. Some random ones:
        SUSE
        PCLinuxOS
        SimplyMEPIS
        Knoppix

There are more, I expect others will chime in.
