A fairly good reference to accompany a newbie book is "Linux Network Servers" by Craig Hunt, published by Network Press (SYBEX: 24seven series - http://www.24sevenbooks.com). It mainly contains glorified examples and how- to's but it covers most fun topics with an emphasis on running Linux as a server for various tasks (web, mail, etc) in a networked environment.
It is more advanced than a newbie book would normally be, which is why I refer to it as a reference or accompaniment. However, it does have a fairly good first chapter on planning and installation which would be of use for a newbie.
