The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy
As a newbie to genealogy, I find this to be a very helpful book. It points you in the directions that you should go and gives a lot of ideas that I would not have thought of.

Great Guide

This is a great book for beginners and experienced researchers. I recommend it to my students.
