Here are two of the best introductions to Buddhism for beginners:
(1) Basic Teaching of the Buddha, compiled and translated with a reading guide by Glenn Wallis (N.Y.: Modern Library, 2007).
(2) In the Buddha's Words, edited, translated and introduced by Bhikkhu Bodhi (Boston: Wisdom, 2005).
The Wallis book is significantly shorter than Bhikkhu Bodhi's collection of readings. Both are excellently organized. (I wish either of those books had been around when I first wanted to seriously figure out what Buddhism was about.)
The best introduction to Zen Buddhism remains Philip Kapleau's The Three Pillars of Zen. Also, unlike the other two, it contains instructions on how to begin practicing at home on your own.
