I have seen books addressing this in my public library. (Yes, I still
occasionally read books printed on physical paper using actual black ink.)
However, I wonder if you have looked at Access Help using the Table of
Contents? That's arranged somewhat as a book might be, with the
introductory sections at the top and the more specialized ones toward
the bottom. You can skip over the sections that do not interest you,
and the actual pages contain hypertext links to details.
What it does not provide (but neither do many user manuals for other
products) is a collection of exercises or suggested projects that would
be helpful for learning to use the database. For that, I suggest that
you look either at "Northwind Traders" or at the blank databases that
you can create with the Database Wizard (File --> New --> Databases).
They don't give you homework exercises, either, but you can play with
them to determine how the parts work together. And if something therein
puzzles you, you can always ask questions on this newsgroup.
