Canon PowerShot A-series. Good image quality for a P&S, relatively cheap, and gives you manual control so you can learn how manual exposure control works.
Kodak's "Joy of Photography" is a good book. Really any intro photography book is good. Preferably film--the "Learn Digital Photography" type books tend to spend way too much time on things like Photoshop and "How To Choose The Right Computer For You" and not nearly enough time on composition and framing. Film ones have a bit on picking the camera and picking types of film, but not as much. The basics of photography are pretty much the same for either.
