Google have published their own SEO starter guide (PDF 550KB) which covers the basics of search engine optimization as it relates to the Google search engine.
If you're reasonable familiar with SEO there's not really anything new here.
However, if you're trying to educate a client or an internal stakeholder on this topic it's helpful to reference a document that is sanctioned by the world's largest search engine.

Its nice to know that Google isn't just acknowleding SEO, but they are educating on it. It makes all the white hat seo we have done seem much more worth it. I think they are trying to promote a world with websites that meet certain standards while still giving the people who work more closely with it the chance to read through the lines, dig deeper and still excel with it.
