Weight Training for Dummies
I THINK ALL THE "FOR DUMMIES" BOOKS ARE PRETTY WELL DONE. THEY USE HUMOR TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION. THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS I THINK. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE

Very Basic, yet Informative.
This is a excellent guide for beginners to learn about different exercises for different parts of the body. It's definately about the bare basics though. I wouldnt recommend it for someone who is REALLY wanting to bulk up, unless perhaps they are starting from complete zero when it comes to knowing anything about weight training.
