(OP)
CAN ANYBODY SUGGEST A VERY PRELIMINARY BOOK ON INTRODUCTION TO FEM.I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW STIFFNESS MATRIX ARE GENERATED AND HOW THEY ARE SOLVED.IS THERE ANY BOOK WHICH SHOWS A LOT OF HAND CALCULATIONS IN THIS REGARD

I should have written the names as:
Frank L. Stasa

Sorry for the the wrong spelling.

"Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering"
by Chandrupatla and Belegundu
I am familiar with some of the other books suggested, and they are also good. However, many of them are intended for, and written at, a graduate level. This particular book has been very useful for me in teaching the basic concepts to new engineers with no previous FEA background. When you say "very preliminary", this book is the first that comes to my mind. It does not require a continuum mechanics background to understand, and the notation and presentation are not as threatening as other texts.
Don't expect to read this book and have an understanding of advanced concepts--it is limited to linear problems.
If I could only have one FEA book, it would not be this. However, if I were teaching an undergrad FEA course, this is definitely the book I would use.

ACTUALLY ITS ABUT NUMERICAL METHODS BUT IT IS QUITE GOOD

This is a very good book. It worth to read before jumping to work.
In fact keep this beside your workstation.

I agree with Brad . Intro to FE methods By Chandrupatla and Belegundu is a great book for beginners. If you go through it in a systematic manner(also try to solve the problems given at the back of each unit), you can gain a clear understanding .
Good Luck,
TS

Another wonderful book (no hand calculations in this one, but a very practical approach) is by Constantine C. Spyrakos.
