this is a cool book that i pick up for a cousin of mine that is beginning to learn how to play
Guitar Soloing: The Contemporary Guide to Improvisation by Daniel Gilbert & Beth Marlis
Its 160 pages long. Its broken down into 36 easy to follow lessons with each lesson building on and utilizing what was used in the lesson before it. It covers tons of scales, arpeggios, modes, sequencing, modulation, phrases, and lots more. Plus it has about 40 techniques exercises and comes with a cd with over 30 two minute long tracks to improv over.
The book will give a beginner a pretty much every thing you need to know about soloing except style and talent ;D

I don't do lead and I don't do solos. Would a book like this be for someone who has some clue or a total beginner at soloing?
"Nothing...can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts."

The scales and the CD have got to make it worth the cost (unless it's sky-high). Not having a jam track to solo against is the biggest problem an aspiring lead player faces.
What's the cost of this book, Chris, and who is the publisher, ISBN number, all that sort of thing?
