Having just purchased a Canon 40d can anybody recommend a decent guide book to help me get to grips with it

I found this one really helpful. Covers just about everything you need to know.

Well the manual is normally pretty good (I don't mean that funnily).

If you are new to photography personally I'd get a book on all round photography which explains aperture, ISO, DOF etc.

Understanding Exposure is often recommended in this way.

not necessarily if he bought it second hand - though you can download a manual from the canon website.

personally I like the Andy Rouse DSLR handbook - its not specific to a given model but read in conjunction with the manual its pretty good (especially if you've not used a dslr before)

Another vote for this one from me. I found it much more useful than the manual
