Umm, well, i don't know the book you are referring to, but what i found to be 
quite understandable (and i did suck at dsp-related math that time as well) 
was the engineers guide to digital signal processing or something to that 
extend. Lemme search for it a sec...
Ah, there it is: The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal 
Processing.
Both available as print as well as online as PDF. For the PDFs (and yes, they 
are both free to use and free of charge) have a look at
www.dspguide.com

As said, i understood most of it even though i didn't have extensive math 
background. Its as far as i recall as descriptive as one can get with only 
the most basic formulae. and as its free, you can just check out if you'd 
like it or not.

HTH,
Florian
