This book is probably the best book you could buy if you're just starting out. I bought it and it helped me to understand a lot of the fundamental ideas in climbing

Very accessible book !! 
I wanted to learn the basics of climbing if for no other reason than to understand other climbing books and films. After an hour I understood the basic concepts, tools and techniques. Now I can re-read Climbing High, Into Thin Air,... (One caption in the third edition attributes the first ascent of Everest to Willi Unsoeld. To the best of my knowledge it was Jim Whittaker.)

A thorough and amusing primer for novice climbers 
I've always been interested in rock climbing but felt intimidated by all the gear and terminology -- not to mention my fear of clinging to a vertical wall of rock. However, after reading this amusing book I realize that not only am I not alone, but being fearful of high places is as natural as the fear of the dark. The authors of the book give a lighthearted introduction of why people love to climb and then give complete step-by-step guidelines how to seek instruction and get going -- inside and out. I highly recommend this to beginners and anyone eager to brush up on their climbing skills.
