   The best book ever written for both learning SPSS and for understanding statistics and the practice of research is by Marija J. Norusis. The title of the book is: SPSS 16.0 Guide to Data Analysis, but older editions of the book are fine for learning SPSS too. The changes from SPSS since version 12 onward are minor enough you could easily get by with an older edition of the textbook. Remember, much of the book is about the data analysis too.
