Have you tried online book stores, I.e. Powell's Books?
How about 'Beginners Tutorials' for a quick references, right here at Linux.org?

I don't know if these are the "best books for a total newb" but they are some books I read as I began my Linux journey.

I found the Linux Cookbook by Michael Stutz to be particularly useful and also Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming by Mark G. Sobell.

I'm sure there are other excellent 'Linux' books out there - these are just the ones I have read.

In no particular order:

G'day @2gangvc and welcome to linux.org

In General Linux, near the top, I have pinned a Thread which provides a number of resources, you could take a look and see if anything there is of assistance.

Perhaps Members who find something useful can add them there?

I'm currently working my way through Wiley's Linux Bible, 10th Edition. It's got new information in it so I bought the newer edition to compliment the 8th edition that I already have. It's approachable for a beginner.

 

[2gangvc]

Thanks for all the suggestions . Looks like an interesting learning curve now .
Good bye Windows.
