Jean Smith has a really great, concise book that outlines what to "do" if you're just starting out with meditation. It's called "The Beginner's Guide to Zen Buddhism" and is absolutely great for beginners.

It's not the end-all-be-all book for meditation (or Buddhism) but it is a good starting place I think.
