Seeking "non-programmer's" AppleScript reference

Hello all -

I'd like to get better at AppleScript but I haven't found a good book on it.

I've been reading this list for a few days to get a sense of things, and I come up with two scenarios: Either you all are talking about really deep coding stuff because you're experts, or the freely-available AppleScript books and tutorials are as impenetrable as I think they are and you're talking about all this stuff because it's impossible to just get good information to start with. Or maybe both.

Apple loads this stuff on my machine in a way that I can't miss it, and tells me about the things I can do and how much I'll love it. But then all the documentation seems to require a background in programming languages.

Mind you, I pick up on computer stuff pretty well, and my favorite way of learning a program is to start with a compact manual that gives me a straightforward walk-through and includes the overall concepts, rather than ponderous tutorials and "for dummies" books.

What do you suggest?
