Beginning Ubuntu Linux: From Novice to Professional (Paperback)
by Keir Thomas (Author) is a big favorite.  There are currently two
editions.  The latest is based on ubuntu 6.10 so is now a year out of
date.  Not a surprise when they release every 6 months.  I do not know
what the differences are or when there will/might be a third edition,
The publisher is Apress at http://www/apress.com where they also sell
it as an ebook for $20 though I know you want paper.  The paper copy
is $40 or you can try
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Ubuntu-Linux-Novice-Professional/dp/1590596277
where they have paper for about $20 (may be 1st edition).
