I like to recommend the National Geographic Photography Field Guide (by Peter Burian and Robert Caputo, or maybe the other way around)I can certainly appreciate where you are coming from - but I'm not sure I understand what you really want to know. On the one hand you say that you don't really want to deal with the nuts and bolts of photography and on the other hand you are asking about the nuts and bolts.
Here is a book that I recommend to people who want to take better pictures, but don't really want to learn photography.
John Hedgecoe's Photography Basics by John Hedgecoe
Perhaps it is more what you are looking for.
It covers the basics AND has great photos in there to look at AND is an interesting read, besides.
Found in large chain bookstores, second-hand bookstores and online at Amazon or, for that matter, the National Geographic website.
