try the wolf marshall series. Thats what i used and they did well for me.

I had learned music from piano lessons and formal percussion training and was a self taught guitar player. I had wanted to look at the guitar fretboard without referring back to a piano keyboard. There is a series called "Fretboard Logic" - it is a 3 book series which starts off basic and moves to the more complex dealing with chords and scales and modes and does it by explaining it in terms of the fretboard to help make it easier then simply memorizing - although it will not completely alleviate memorization I did find it a great tool.

I have found one of the best resource/tutorial books available would have to be "Guitar for Dummies". It covers a huge range of stuff, and is generally written in terms that anybody can understand. It starts out with the basics and gradually gets tougher as you work through the book. You can use it for either electric or acoustic guitar, and there are lessons on all different styles of playing from Blues and Jazz, through to Rock and Classical. It also has sections on maintaining your guitar, what to look for when purchasing, chord diagrams etc.
