I know of one such book (the author's first name is Ralph, cannot remember 
the title) that is a good beginners guide to the ST.  One place that sells it
is Computer Garden (1-800-456-5689), for $15.99.  I would also recommend that 
you get a subscription to Current Notes magazine (about $20).  It is the 
best (IMHO), with many _honest_ reviews and a great PD library.  I liked it 
so much that I bought all the back issues.
