Persona non grata
"Books that try to cover independently everything are usually beginner books.
In the Chess Notes feature at www.chesscafe.com Edward Winter commented:
"From today`s partially range of chess books for beginners we believe that one stands out as the best: The Complete Idiot`s Guide to Chess by Patrick Wolff"

If you are a complete noob then get Learn Chess by C H. O'D Alexander.

The best way to learn the basics is with someone else that knows how to play.
My father taught me how to play at a young age and I would consider myself an ok player.
After like 5 games you will get the basics, then from their you could look up move sequences and strategies online or in books.
If you don't know anyone willing to teach you, I would play a few games with you on yahoo games chess.
