Best book for knitting beginners?

I learned knitting from youtube videos and craft sites, but lately I've been instructing others on how to knit. Does anyone have any recommendations for a comprehensive book that takes care of all the basics?

To be clear, I'm asking for a book that I could just refer a beginner to, without fear that they would be confused or overwhelmed

I like to lean knitting too . Search in pindy knitting section for what you need.
