• Best option intro book and more
  This book is very well written, clearly illustrated. It covers all the basics you need to know about option and some most popular strategies. Although it does not include those fancy strategies, IMAO, if you can not make money on these most popular ones (covered option, spreads, strangle and straddle, etc.), probably you won't make money on those fancier ones either. More energy should be spent on market reading and equity analysis, instead of wasting time on calculate fancy combination.

• Best intro to options I've found
  Covers the Greeks and most common option strategies very well, along with very good intro chapters to fundamental, technical, and market analysis, and a discussion on trading psychology. Guy writes and explains well, and has a knack for voicing important details and underlying assumptions that many other writers forget their audience of beginners don't know. A very good starting point and survey of the topic, before venturing into more in-depth studies.

• Good, but very basic
  Very basic book about options. Made really easy to understand the topic, very good for beginners. My rating is 3.5 stars. I did not like that the author indicated a lot of links like "I trade like this..." or "This site explains Fibonacci well..." and when you go there it costs literally an arm and a leg to get the materials. There's some very good stuff for free on the net about fibs and others. In general, is a very good book for beginners
