I like the little book by John English published by Prentice-Hall as an
introductory book.  It is well written and, if you follow the examples
all the way through, you may learn a lot about the language.  

There are other books that are more comprehensive, but John has done a 
great job at presenting essentials without overwhelming the reader with
stuff that can best be learned a little later.

Another book that meets this test is David Naiditch's book.
