"how to" books?

[King James]

I am relatively new to photography, and I will be upgrading to an SLR soon without much information about how to use the features it comes with. Are there any good books out there that can teach you how to use certain features and tell you about them, or is it best to just play around with them and see what you get?

Thanks,
Jim
