Ha, agree wif wat Aki said, internet is a good source of infomation if you know how to use it wisely, but for me i'll jus sit down with my bass and try to figure out stuff from it, haha.
Most books out there are written in musical notes and are meant for people who want to learn in that approach. If that's what you want, you can get plenty from Kinokuniya and Borders.
You can try the Bass Guitar For Dummies, it contains both taugeh and tabs, and also available at the above mentioned places.
