If the guy says he's welcoming to newbies, take him up on it. Of course borrow a book and study up, and ask questions before the first game to make the first game as smooth as possible (of course you'll still have tons of questions as they come up, so don't be afraid to ask anyway). Also, I know I hate coming in to the middle of a game, so ask about the next time the group is starting fresh. It may be a while, of course, but no solution is perfect. But you could always "sit out" a session and just watch and chat and see if you get the gist of how the campaign is being played.
