Best Book for New Brewer

[KyBeer]

20 years ago when I started brewing, The Complete Joy of Homebrewing was the only book I could find. With that book and the help of my local homebrew supply store I made my first red ale. I now have many many books on brewing. I would pick John Palmers How to brew as my first choice but only by a nose.
John Palmer also has a great web site and www.brewersfriend.com are both good.
