Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i'm not 100% sure about making it boot the ISO image directly, but i'm pretty sure you can copy the ISO image contents to the hard disk and then configure grub to boot it from there... this might be useful if your main objective is to not have to burn CDs to test an ISO...
You can, if you have the room on your hard disk, create a partition and format it for CD instead of Linux filesystem. Then burn the iso image to that partition.
How to set up the grub.conf (or menu.lst) to have grub boot that image is another question. Since I read your post, I've googled and not found an answer on how to configure grub to boot such an image.
Perhaps others may have a better answer.
