If you've never camped before, this book will smooth out the learning curve.  It's clear, consice, and will help you get started, with lists and descriptions of the equipment you'll need, it's use, and why those and not other items you'll be tempted to get "just in case" or because they're shiny.  If you've camped a lot, you could have written this book.  (One of the voices in my head just said,"but you didn't, did you?")  Since I collect books like this, I very much enjoyed it, and highly recommend it.
