As Russ says: For an introduction to chess opening concepts - "Discovering Chess Openings" by John Emms. It focuses specifically on FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of opening play.

I found this book to be VERY useful at helping me understand smaller nuances ("luxury pawn moves" is the one I always cite) that are sometimes glossed over in other opening books. Definitely recommended.
