Good Books in the "Dummies" series?

Most of the "for Dummies" books... well... they suck.

But occasionally there is a gem. "Wine for Dummies", for example is an EXCELLENT overview of wines that actually teaches a lot.

I was wondering if anyone else knew of any GOOD "for dummies" books?

Chess for Dummies is pretty good... particularly in helping chess newbies learn the three stages of the game.

HTML 4.0 for Dummies was a good introduction for HTML for me. I guess www.webmonkey.com would work as well, though.
