Although I despise her radical left politics, I really liked Starhawk's The Spiral Dance. It's more intermediate than introductory level, but very good.
I also appreciated Cunningham's books, Wicca and Living Wicca provide very good introductions for solitary practitioners, and much of his information is adaptable for coveners. His guides (to herbs, crystals, and pretty much everything else) are indispensible magickal resouce works.
Be wary of much else of what Llewellyn publishes though ... in most fields, as Sturgeon's Law tells us, 99% of everything is crap. For Llewellen Publishing that goes up to about 99.7% ... (okay, maybe it's not really THAT bad, but they tend to have a lot of light and fluffy "whitelighter" books.)
