Have to a agree Russel's book is a good intro to Philosophy..I have read it twice over the years. Also, for a quick good light overview...Maybe Geoff and others would like

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder.... A novel about the history of philosophy..Not perfect but very good...

Also, Oxford produces the Very short introductions, or VSI. Those include some philosophers as well. Back to Russell. Another Book like his is Will Durant's History of Philosophy. Also a good general overview of Western Philosophy.
