Good Book for Beginners?

I'm in the market for a good, well written book catered towards beginners so that I can pick up some skills with Pix firewalls.

My defacto book in cases like these would be a 'Dummies' book (laugh if you want but you learn quickly from them, and that's what counts), but I am open to other suggestions.

The goal of reading such a book would be to basically understand every line in the default pix config (access-list, fixup, etc.) as well as gain some insite on 'typical' configs, VPN setups, etc.

Thanks in advance.
