As a new Drupal user I found Beginning Drupal 7 to be very useful for learning the basics.
Some of the features I found most helpful:
-Detailed instructions for installing Drupal
-Well organized chapters about the basic elements of a Drupal site
(e.g. menus, users, blocks, themes, etc..)
-Author suggestions for modules
-A detailed case study to explain the process
-An appendix about integrating social networking
The book didn’t go into too much detail about custom themes or e-commerce, but there were chapters for each. Overall a great starting point for newbies!
