Analytic philosophy kind of means two things: first, most people use the label to mean a method — careful, heavily argument-centric, precise, mostly deferential to the natural sciences. In this sense there is lots of analytic philosophy and you can't really get an introduction to all of it. Second, since the above tradition really became conscious of itself during the time of Frege, Russell, Moore, and Wittgenstein (and I agree, don't start with him), it's the name for an historical period that started with those philosophers.
I think you can get a decent intro to both via a book called The Game of the Name by Gregory McCullough. It's heavily focused on philosophy of language, but good analytics know that stuff well. To dig into another area I like the Dimensions of Philosophy series though some of them are becoming dated nowadays. Still, they're all great analytic introductions to different areas.
