Learn Linux

Is there a GOOD “learn linux” book that is written in plain English? I don’t need a “dummies” ( although I feel like one! ;-D )book, but every Linux book I have ever seen assumes some level of knowledge in alternate OS terminology. They are written by “geeks” for geeks.

It would be nice to have a “beginners” book written for guys like me that have ossified brains, weak eyes, and are 60. I really want to move my netork to linux, but I can’t figure out the help system, syntax or anything else.
