Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists
Note, you have to be willing to put the time in, especially if your linear algebra is rusty or (like me) you have only a passing familiarity with complex numbers.
With that in mind, it's almost entirely self-contained and you can immediately start to make connections with classical computing if you're familiar with automata.
I've been interested in learning about quantum computing for a few years now and this book finally got me going.

[update]
As an aside it's a really great excuse to try out one of the many computer algebra systems out there. I gave Mathematica a trial for fun since I'd already used SageMath in the past.
