The following books with get you started:

Debian GNU/Linux Bible. Debian release version 6.x only a short time ago
so the book will most like be for the older version.

The Debian System concepts and techniques.

Moving to Linux, Second Edition: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye!
(2nd Edition)

Also look at the Debian doc web site.
