Try taking a piano class at a local community college or ask to the local university's music dept. for a qualified private teacher. I would shy away from music stores because I've found that their recommendations to be unreliable. A group piano class is a good way to get your feet wet and see if like the instrument not to mention making connections and looking for a private tutor that you may really like. Plus you'll probably spend less on a 15 week class and if you practice daily you'll learn alot. A book can't tewll you what you are doing wrong and how to improve your technique. Beginning piano students need guidance in different areas in which a book may dissapoint. The piano as you've already said can be confusing to learn to play if you are not already familiar with certain aspects of the instrument. A book/DVD may confuse you further and deter you from wanting to continue.
