It sounds like "Point and Click Linux" got decent reviews:

   http://books.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/23/1922203

There is a web site, I haven't investigated how deep the content is:

   http://pointandclicklinux.com/

Two interesting features of the book:

1. "Live CD" in the form of Mepis (Debian-derived)

2. DVD with video captures of performing the actions described in the
   book.

Might be worth a look.
