Ken Brown's book, "Cohomology of groups" also gives a fairly readable introduction to spectral sequences. The algebra is kept fairly simple here, and most of the discussion is about computing the homology of a double complex, and constructing the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence. So it doesn't go particularly deep, but it's a non-frightening place to start.
