Oh wow, I have not read that one - I'll have to get a copy.
I've gotten much enjoyment out of reading Royce's Sailing Illustrated, Capable Cruiser by Lin & Larry Pardey [along with everything else by them], and the Annapolis Book of Seamanship, among others.
I've got the Sailing Bible. I hear the Annapolis Book of Seamanship is a must have as well.

As former instructor and 45+ years of sailing...2 good books for beginners. Colgate's Fast Track gives a very concise, clearly written 3 day program. A better 3 day jump start than any other I've found. Focuses on the core skillset to survive your first few missions. The Annapolis book is your in-depth comprehensive reference for all sailing related subjects. Way to thick to read straight through. Use it like an encyclopedia.
I taught myself to sail with this book.

Read it, bought a boat, and started practicing. Have fun!
