Yeah, that's quite true - but Dan's book is still a pretty good one for getting some inspiration. In the southwest, I'm struggling to think of something suitably spectacular for an absolute novice - I have taken a few people on Bosigran / Commando Ridge, but that's definitely a rock climb; Lands End Long Climb is in much the same vein.
The other books you mention sound like the cicerone guides - a quick hop onto their website would be a good place to start.
