   I've heard good things about this one, as well as _Linear Algebra for Everyone_. http://amzn.com/8847018382

   From the book's intro:

   >But, suppose we asked a professional mathematician to step back a bit from his habitual way of speaking and write in a more linear fashion? And suppose we even asked more, for example, that he make his writing lively? ... The purpose of this book is to furnish the reader with the first mathemat- ical tools needed to understand one of the pillars of modern mathematics, i.e. linear algebra. The text has been written by a mathematician who has tried to step out of his usual character in order to speak to a larger public. He has also taken up the challenge of trying to make accessible to everyone the first ideas and the first techniques of a body of knowledge that is fundamental to all of science and technology.
