I have recently brought a book called Teach Yourself Guitar Scales for Absolute Beginners it's written by Cliff Douse and includes a play-along CD
As long as by Staff you mean the same thing as I do when I say Fingerboard this might be a good book.

Then there is this book I've got out of my local library called The complete Guitarist by Richard Chapman forward by Les Paul go to Page 40 to see where all the notes are on the fingerboard. Plus the book has info on the history of the Guitar and lots of stuff to teach yourself too.

Have fun.
