Maiden VoyageMaiden Voyage by Tania Aebi
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $1.98
Gripping tale of her circumnavigation at 18. A good read for learning from her mistakes.
The Complete Sailor: Learning the Art of SailingThe Complete Sailor: Learning the Art of Sailing by David Seidman
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $5.51
Great all-around text with accessible descriptions. This was an excellent first book.
Sailing Fundamentals: The Official Learn-To-Sail Manual of the American Sailing Association and the United States Coast Guard AuxiliarySailing Fundamentals: The Official Learn-To-Sail Manual of the American Sailing Association and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary by Gary Jobson
Buy used from: $2.94
Required text for ASA 101. It's not bad. So far, I prefer "The Complete Sailor" for most of the information, but this has a little information not included in the other.
The New Complete Sailing ManualThe New Complete Sailing Manual by Steve Sleight
Buy used from: $33.85
Good descriptions and diagrams. So far feels slightly less compelling than "The Complete Sailor," but still much more so than Jobson's "Sailing Fundamentals."
The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, 3rd Edition RevisedThe Annapolis Book of Seamanship, 3rd Edition Revised by John Rousmaniere
Buy new: $32.40 / Used from: $19.19
A ton of information. Too much, in fact, a little overwhelming at this point. Great pictures for knot-tying.
