Tesjui the Book

As an alternative, the Elementary Go Series is pretty good too. You should check out Tesuji and Life and Death. Personally I found these more helpful as a beginner since things are organized and explained.

Or, for totally free you can work through Cho Chikun's Encylclopedia of Life and Death (avilable here) which is a ridiculously good resource for learning to read.

Also, you can get all of these books directly from kiseido (http://www.kiseido.com/go_books.htm) which is cheaper than amazon.

Kiseido currently has an offer going on: "Until March 1, Kiseido is having a sale of all books on this page. Orders of five (5) books or more will be given a 10% discount off the applicable listed prices with free shipping."

Other redditors have given some glorious suggestions. I think that they are all skipping an important step.

I would suggest that your next book be The Second Book of Go. It is a great overview of all of the different parts of the game that most other books will focus on. I didn't read it until I had dabbled in several other books.

After that, I would suggest Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go, or Tesuji.
