I'll second this. I *hate* SAMS, but this book is good for what it does
-- walks the user through a basic Debian installation. Far better than
the O'Reilly Debian book.
My other general GNU/Linux book suggestions are:

In the specific case of Debian, there's a wealth of online
documentation, much of it installed (or installable) on your system.
The Debian Policy Manual is *very* highly recommended. The selections
at the Debian.org website's docs section are a bit on the spotty side,
though there are a few brighter bits of coal among the smellier bits.
Peace.
