[Biopython] Some books

[Dragoslav Zaric]

Dear friends,

I do not come from bioinformatics background, so can anybody
recommend some introducing book about bioinformatics so I can
cover the basics.

Of course there are a lot of python programming in biopython that is
out of biology (like parsing of database files, connect to databases), but
to get clear picture it is good to read some introducing book.

Is book

"Introduction to Bioinformatics" by Arthur Lesk

good one ?

Kind regards
