I have two of Paul's books and they are excellent.

I'm finding the MySQL online manuals hard going in figuring out how to
construct SQL queries. Can anyone perhaps recommend a good book that can
shed light on the subject?
Thanks.
The book I've been using is 'MySQL, The definitive guide to using,
programming, and administering MySQL 4.1 and 5.0' ISBN 0-672-32673-6
(there may be a more recent version).
If that's my book, it sounds like the third edition. The fourth edition is
more recent. http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/
Well written, with a general introduction to SQL and (from my POV) very
good sections on writing MySQL with C and PHP
