There is a book called "Catholicism for Dummies".

I just ordered it for a friend, after I review it and get a DOM-primatuer on it.

Unless the book has been revised over the last couple of years, it's a piece of trash. I think most of the "Dummies" books are excellent, but the one on Catholicism is junk. It keeps mentioning the Kennedys -- yes, as in Big Fat Ted Kennedy -- which should give you some indication of how low-brow (not to mention passe ) it is. I don't like to be negative, but I strongly recommend you not give that book to anyone sincerely interested in Catholicism.

Calling people who don't know much about catholicism dummies isn't going to win you any converts.
