Running Debian Linux by O'Reilley and Associates is good. Sometimes referred to as the Mountie book because it has a picture of an RCMP officer on a horse on the cover.
I can vouch that 'Running Linux' is very good, and has a man on a horse on the cover.
'Learning Debian Gnu/Linux' has a man on a bull, is out of print, and I haven't seen it.
I would also suggest the reference manual and other documentation on the Debian site.
