I'd have to second the opinion on the Ben Hogan book. I gave it to my wife to read before we even headed to the range the first time to hit balls. We were able to communicate more easily since she read the book from cover to cover. She currently shoots in the high 90s to low 100s, which is pretty good for someone who doesn't play all that much. She once shot an 85, which a lot of men would kill for.
The book was first published, I believe, in 1957 and many people consider it a classic. It has great illustrations and is an easy read. It's like picking the mind of one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of golf.

I think the standard is the one by Bobby Jones. But you only get one perspective if you try to read a book. You get no feedback on it you're actually doing it right. Listen to any telecast of a PGA event, and I guarantee someone will say "he came over the top" or "he hit it fat". Does anyone know what those terms mean? I don't. I tried reading a couple of books, and gave up in frustration. I went to see a teaching pro at one of the local driving ranges. Feedback was immediate. I picked things up way faster. And nowadays, they have camcorders mounted around the tees. Not only can the pro tell you what you did wrong, he can show you using YOU as his example. More expensive than buying a book? To be sure, but not that much more expensive. Save yourself a lot of frustration. Go talk to a pro.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

I think the best short game book is by Tom Watson called, "Getting Up and Down." My scores went down a lot after reading it.
