Maybe try two: get The Blackjack Zone by Eliot Jacobson and Professional Blackjack by Stanford Wong.

TBZ has a very good subjective analysis of what it takes to be a profitable player and how you need to adjust your mind, and PB takes an objective look at the application of the High-Low count.

DID YOU READ THE FAQ?
DIDN'T THINK SO...
It has the answer to most of the questions you will think of!

The first book I read was Black belt in blackjack by Arnold Snyder, and I liked it!
It's relatively easy to read and it introduced a wide range of subjects. Around the same time I also read Professional Blackjack, but it wasn't as clear as BBiBJ.
But if you are interested in the Hi-Lo system, by all means get Professional Blackjack.

I'll second The Blackjack Zone and add Blackjack Bluebook 2 to the mix.
Not only is BB2 a very easy read,but the author is a regular here who seems to answer any questions people posit to him.

Consider...

Blackjack Blueprint, Million Dollar BJ, Blackjack for Blood, Beat the Dealer
and Playing BJ as a Business.

Pick two or three of those mentioned in previous posts, or among these.
That should give you a good start.

BJ Bluebook II, Blackbelt in BJ and Professional BJ are all excellent, and
would be a fine BJ101 course of study.

best first book about blackjack to read? if i had it to do over again i'd choose John May's Get the Edge at Blackjack. gives a great overall picture. apparently does have some misinformation on i believe it was stacker play.

1. Big Book of BJ
2. BJ Blue Book

i'd recommend:

1. Receiving BJs
2. Hit It After a BJ.

I would also highly recommend Blackjack Bluebook II by Mr. Fred Renzey. It's a very good read, and is presented in a manner that makes the methods easy to comprehend for a beginner. It was the first and best blackjack book I have read thus far.

That site looks good. Has a lot of the more rare BJ books, which is excellent. However, i was thinking more along the lines of used books...

Abebooks.com is good too. Often I use search engines like those here:
