Guide to the IBM Personal Computer

Guide to the IBM Personal Computer by Walter Sikonowiz from McGraw-Hill is a much better introductory text. It covers Basic, DOS (including DOS 2.0), graphics debugging, serial and parallel ports, light pens, and joysticks, and even has a bibliography. The writing style resembles the weather in Albuquerque: clear and perfectly dry. If you don't mind this, the book looks as if it would be a handy accompaniment to a brand-new PC.
