There are many books, but if I had to choose one that teaches R
and teaches statistics at the same time (Yes, you already know
stats, so it will be that much easier) I'd choose Peter Dalgaard's
book, Introductory Statistics with R. It's exceptionally well
written, easy to follow, and will systematically teach you R.
It's paperback, not too expensive and available at Amazon.
Start at the front, work all the way through it and you will be
delighted with the results.

I agree about Dalgaard's book being excellent and well written.
In addition, a free resource that I found put "familiar statistics" together
with the R interface quite well was John Verzani's simpleR contributed
resource: (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Verzani-SimpleR.pdf )
This material subsequently was the foundation for a book. These two
resources will bring you up to speed, but I doubt you'll ever be done
learning because the project is so comprehensive ;-) Look at the other
contributed resources for additional things that might speak to your
personnal needs for a "comprehensive overview". It's an impressive
collection: http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/
