There is a "for dummies" book, but I don't recommend it because it tries to
cover too much.

You might look at:
Accounting Fundamentals by Hoffman & Flashner
Accounting Principles: Fourth Edition by Kieso & Weygandt
Accounting Principles by Smith, Keith, and Stephens
Accounting Procedures by Price

These have a description and table of contents at barnesandnoble.com and
are reasonably priced.  Check the descriptions to see which might best meet
your needs.  You might also check a local college to see what text they are
using for an introductory accounting course.

You can just post a journal entry to your checking account (credit) and
office supplies (debit).  Vendors are only necessary when you're booking a
payable.
