Need help please. I have had the MacBook Pro for 2 months and I'm lost. [View all]

I plod along on my old PC but my kids wanted me to have the Mac. It sounds ungrateful of me but I wish they didn't gift me with it.

I'm one of those people who works best from a book. If you don't know what something is called or how to use it, it is a pain in the neck to get over to the PC and try and find what information I need.
I've been all over the Internet and read the "how to" reviews. I wonder if you have a suggestion as to which book is best for a simple user, a beginner really. Many have so-so reviews. I can't tell what to do.

I got the dickens from the man who does any repair I need. He insists I can do whatever I need, well, I didn't want a lecture from him, I wanted a suggestion for a good beginner book. I will never use the computer for much but I've got to get going.
I tried Barnes & Noble but they don't stock computer books. The very nice clerk told me they become too obsolete as they sit on the shelf.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It is simple, I just need a beginners book.
Thanks,
PR
