This is a very good visual comparison (pay special attention to the two photos a the bottom of the page):

The main point to remember is that letterboxed DVD images are essentially square(ish). They are made up of a widescreen movie image, sandwiched between two black bars that are PART of the image.
Anamorphic widescreen DVDs are rectangular in shape- like the movie image itself.
