When I started a campaign, I thought about handing the quest book to the heroes to glance over, then thought... wait a minute, one of them is an AP player, I don't want to sit for 30 minutes while they read every quest >_>So what I do to keep with the theme of the game for newbies is to show them the map.
I give a one sentence threat about the quest, as if they were sitting in the tavern and the innkeeper was telling them what he heard about what was going on there.
