This is a very short read. However, you will find everything you need to get started with Mastodon, and quite a few handy tips for more advanced users. There is also a section on creating your own instance with a hosting service, if that's your thing. And the book closes with good Mastodon clients, and a quick overview of the other apps in the Fediverse.
