Good beginner book is "Upscale One Pocket" by Jack Koehler.

Well, yes, but... He is looking at a $500 investment (minimum) to get both of Robin's books if he's in the right place at the right time. The cheapest I can find them for right now is $1025 for the pair. He can certainly resell them but that's a lot to put out there.If a person gambles even in low stakes, book cost shouldn't matter.
Even at $10 a game, a player may very well lose more in one or two sessions than the books will cost.
Buy the books, study and use them and you'll make all your money back very quickly from the less experienced (players that think the books are too expensive).
Don't be one of those players that think they are paying their dues by donating to people that can't teach.

Koehler's book is fairly basic and will get a beginner started. George Fels has a brief section on one pocket in his Mastering Pool book. I think he may as well get Tom Wirth's book now, skim it for what makes sense for his current level and then reread it as his game develops.

Thanks for the recommendations! Tom Wirth's book it is. Should I buy direct from him?
I just finished watching game 7 of Filler v. Chohan. What a game!
