Well i havn't actually recieved either of them yet, but they were highly reccomended and i read some reviews all which were posotive:
Blackbelt in Blackjack
Blackjack Bluebook II
They are both very newbie friendly and both feature "The Red 7 Count", which is a very good starting count to learn. Also the author of Blackbelt in Blackjack created "The Red 7 Count".
Hope this has helped.
