A pile of For Dummies books. They really do seem to be the five-minute course on everything. I particularly liked Nonprofit Kit for Dummies, as recommended by Lukeprog.
What is the general quality of X For Dummies books? Is there a lot of variance?
Where I know anything about the field, they look good to me. The nonprofit one made me go "AAAAAAAA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS 25 YEARS AGO (because I was too young and stupid to even think of asking)" which made me think well of it. There exists Reiki for Dummies, which is of course a how-to for a comprehensively bogus field; I haven't cracked it open. They started as software manuals and branched out into everything. Um, give them a spin, I'd say.
