I recommend "Introduction to Logic", by Irving Copi and others. It is intended for philosophy majors I think, but works very well for general readers.

I would recommend the book, Introduction to Logic by Irving M Copi and others. It has a large number of interesting exercises too.

Another choice would be the book, 'The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric : Understanding the Nature and Function of Language' by Sister Miriam Joseph.

Introduction to Logic by Irving Copi used to be like that (back when I read it many years ago). I taught myself using that book as my main read.
