Java How to Program - by Deitel & Deitel

I was selling a copy dirt cheap only just recently. If you're interested, I could check one of my colleagues to see if they want to sell their book. Most naturally it'll be cheap.

I also have "Java How To Program" - Deitel & Deitel. Great book with great examples.

However, I can recommend even a better book for a beginner.
Check out "A Java Programming Introductory and Intermediate Course" - Stephen Blaha. I have the 2nd edition (probably there is a 3rd). I bought it at Innovative Systems (Liguanea) some time last year. Really a great book...best I have seen so far for beginners. Costs about US$35

Hope this helps

When you are done let me know I will send you to other sites.
However, the above should keep you busy for a while.

btw : You need to have at least 250 mb. If you dont want to be waiting around forever while your programs to compile. Plus at least a 1.5Mhz processor.
