It's a decent book, but it may be a bit much for a first
reading, and it costs money (any is too much in most people's budgets
:-) I wrote a series of articles for a University publication a year
and a half ago, giving a basic introduction to the Internet. It
covered using telnet, ftp, archie, and a rather nice little list of
services, most of which are probably still around.
If there's sufficient interest, I could dig it up and post it...
