Jargon-free Bitcoin for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide to Gain Confidence in  Cryptocurrency, Avoid Mistakes, Invest Safely and Secure Your Financial Future by Alex Parker   
Tis book is very detailed in information. It starts with the history of how and why bitcoin was created, places where it's used esclusively and so much more.
It gives you the basics and yes even includes over the top things that you don't really need to know about but it's my money so yes i want to know about it all.
It explains how to keep things secure and using which email services and other companies to do so. It explains what type of wallets you can set up and for what reasons. each one has their own purpose.  I am quite familiar with the scheme as we have friends who are miners.  They try to keep government out of it but on latest IRS forms they ask how much you have invested-they do want a portion in taxes down the road I'm sure.
The steps to set up wallets and other things are very detailed, step by step process. Good start to learning about bitcoin.
