Beyer's Buddhist Introduction.

"The Buddhist Experience: Sources and Interpretations" was first introduced to me through an older sibling's Religious Studies course. When I went on to take the course I used and still have her textbooks. Beyer's survey is primarily Mahayana-leaning but it is an excellent collection of stories, sutras and short excerpts from Buddhist texts. Very comprehensive and engaging for the layman interested in Buddhist studies.
