   At your local bookstore. Or Amazon for that matter. There are certainly   
   introductory books for SQL Server out there. I'm afraid that I don't   
   have any direct recommendations.   
      
   Or look for training in your area.   
      
   I can agree that Books Online is maybe not the best way to start, as it   
   is intended to be reference material.
