I don't know the PLUG number, but you'd probably get a better deal at 
bookpool.com or buy.com, especially with buy.com's free shipping. 
 **Disclaimer - I have no affiliation with either except as a customer.

No book recommendation, but I've been working through the tutorial at 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html and so far it's very good 
- as far as this non-programmer can tell.
