Raspberry Pi: A Quick-Start Guide
Get your Raspberry Pi up and running and doing cool stuff. You’ll start with the adding hardware, installing and configuring Debian Linux, and customizing the Pi’s firmware to get the most out of your hardware.
Then the fun begins. You’ll connect the Pi to your home network, surf the web, and tweet messages. You’ll learn how to get the most out of Midori, the Pi’s standard browser, and control the desktops of other PCs with the Pi. Then you’ll explore the Pi’s versatility with a series of home projects. Turn it into a web server in your home network; convert the Pi into a powerful multimedia center so you can watch high-definition video and listen to your favorite music; and play classic video games.
Then you’ll use the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi to build your own electronics projects, such as an “out of memory” alarm. You’ll learn how to use digital and analog sensors with the Pi‚ even though the Pi doesn’t have analog input ports! Finally, you’ll set up the Pi camera, create your own time-lapse videos, and build an automatic e-mailing burglar alarm. Power to the Pi!

A very first book on Raspberry Pi. But, it is the start guide so for myself who is just looking for information about Pi, it just gets confusing because I don't have one in front of me.

Good overview of the Raspberry Pi mostly focusing on running Raspian Linux distribution or Raspbmc on it. Would've liked more information on other projects like Qt on Pi.

The book was fairly introductory. Not ideal for a previous Linux user.
