Before you order the Step By Step book, take a look at the Missing Manual
Series. Vista for Starters is well-written. Not as "cutesy" as the Dummies
books (I have several) but not as advanced as the Inside Out books (ditto).
I've been reviewing some of the MM books and am really impressed with them.
