Right now for school we use Intro to Stats by DeVeaux, Velleman, and Bock... but it stinks, so I'd suggest just going to a book store and getting something like CliffNotes Statistics, or Statistics For Dummies... it probably has way more explanations than a lot of regular text books and it also has practice problems... all while being wonderfully cost effective (compared to a normal textbook anyway.)
Good luck!
