My grandfather is just starting out. He knows the absolute basics but not much more. What's a good book for him?

Thanks Mason. I'm happy that it covers various kinds of poker, because he is interested in playing 7-card stud with some friends as well as no-limit hold'em at the local casino. Does it cover concepts such as position, pot odds, and basic bet sizing?

Yes, but only a small amount on basic bet sizing.
