Query: Good introduction to western Tibetan Buddhism

Not being Buddhist myself, and having a very hard time understanding what buddhism is all about, This book cleared up alot of misconceptions I had. It is a very nice introduction to Tibetan Buddhism with a "western" flavour. The author seems to assume (and rightly so) that most western readers will be neophytes in Buddhism.If you have heard of buddhism and do not understand it, if the beleifs of buddhism are unclear to you, if you cannot comprehend the "nothingness" or nirvana concept that is prevalent in buddhism, then THIS is a very good book to get.
