None of the books I've seen discussed so far offer a layman's introduction to Mahayana Buddhism, it's mostly Theravada or technical primary-source Mahayana. So might I recommend Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche's "Dharma Paths"?

It's an accessible introduction to an authentic Tibetan vision of Mahayana Buddhism, translated from the teachings of an incredibly realized master (full disclosure, he is the guru of my main teacher, so I'm a bit biased, but all the same I do think it's good if you're looking for what it offers).
