There are a number of books related to Bitcoin and which can be useful for beginners, Look up;
• Mastering Bitcoin, and
• Bitcoin for dummies
They should both be available on Amazon.

There's a thread by yazher which contains links to Bitcoin related books - Blockchain Books, Bitcoin Movies And Documentaries (Updated), it was last updated in 2019, but the content is still relevant.

Check out this list- https://bitcoin-only.com/#books
I haven’t read any single book from the list, I have read only 1 book written in my local language. You can check the list and pick some books.

• Mastering Bitcoin, and
• Bitcoin for dummies

Both sounds good but bad luck, we don't have amazon in our local. Can you suggest any other place where I can buy? I would like to gift someone.

Antonopoulos is amazing.
Certainly, any beginner can just explore his videos (any of them), and read any of his books.

I read and watch his videos for years, and he still surprises me when I watch.

In an ecosystem where 99% of anything "crypto" are scams (hello defi), when we hear someone who knows what he is talking about it is just amazing.
We are lucky to have this guy in our ecosystem.

Read about crypto scam and how to avoid

The problem with books on the subject is that they can only cover some basics ,the fields continues to expand and change rapidly enough to make any book on the topic largely outdated before it can be published and distributed.

The bitcoin talk forum is the only best place to learn about cryptocoins in general but even that is not entirely inclusive by any means, it's just the overall single best source.

I'd recommend you start with this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Inventing-Bitcoin-Technology-Decentralized-Explained-ebook/dp/B07MWXRWNB

Description

Bitcoin may well be the greatest invention of our time, and most people have no idea what it is, or how it works. Walking through its invention step by step, this short two hour read is critical before you invest.

No technical expertise required! Read it, then share it with your loved ones.

"Having read virtually every Bitcoin explainer, I believe it’s the best from-scratch introduction to Bitcoin, requiring no prior knowledge at all. I will be referring newcomers to it from now on." - Nic Carter, Castle Island Ventures

“It was much quicker and easier to understand than I expected [...] After reading it I sold some of my alts for more bitcoin. I’m on the edge of becoming a maximalist because of you.” - Nako Mbelle, Around The Coin Podcast

"Inventing Bitcoin's been getting buzz recently for good reason. @skwp wrote possibly the easiest, most informative intro to Bitcoin."- @cryptograffiti, Crypto Artist

To my way of thinking, this is probably the best book for beginners to start their journey into the world of bitcoin. It answers the question "What is bitcoin?". Once you finish it, you can dive deeper into a rabbit hole and search for answers to other questions such as "Why bitcoin?" ("The Internet of Money" book) and "How bitcoin works?" ( "Mastering Bitcoin" book) written by Andreas Antonopoulos.

All the e-book links you shared above are stored on Google Drive; Are all those books licensed for free?

Not sure about the others but Mastering Bitcoin is available to access for free on https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook. Other parties are also allowed to distribute the PDF of the book.

There is very good guide from user fillippone called 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin. Everything you have to know for the begining is there.Generally, this forum is great source of information, be active and you will learn a lot.

[Husna QA]

Not sure about the others but Mastering Bitcoin is available to access for free on https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook. Other parties are also allowed to distribute the PDF of the book.

Yes, the English version is free on the Github version (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook) and PDF on the translate version (Mastering Bitcoin Open Edition: https://bitcoinbook.info/translations-of-mastering-bitcoin/) under the same license (CC-BY-SA).

Meanwhile, the 2nd edition of "Mastering Bitcoin" is available under a CC-BY-NC-ND license, not a CC-BY-SA license.
And I came across the following warning:

Please don't create or distribute PDFs until the license is changed to CC-BY-SA. It is rare for a publisher to agree to even a CC-BY-NC-ND license. Don't make it harder for free culture by violating even that, already generous, license.

I don't know whether the license has changed or not. ...

There are also information and readings here in this forum that can help you have an idea how bitcoin works.

Books have a plentier of information because it is detailed compared to just reading a lot opinions based on their experiences on engaging with bitcoin.

We do really have different preferences on what kind of platforms are we going to use as a tool to feed our thoughts and mind. Bitcoin is a complex thing and when you engage to it, make sure that you learn from your mistakes, you learn how it works and being utilized in the market so that you are prepared and disciplined in making it as an asset to your investments.

Choose your platform to learn about bitcoin.

There are lots of materials to read out bitcoin/ Cryptocurrency broadened your understanding about bitcoin. You can also use the internet to educate yourself more. Okay

All the e-book links you shared above are stored on Google Drive; Are all those books licensed for free?

Hi! @Husna QA  , I personally collected those cryptocurrency books during my free time and decided to upload it in my Google Drive and eventually share it to the community. To answer your question, I am not quite sure if these eBooks are licensed for free that is why i decided to create a thread if posting some eBooks are allowed.

[1] Posting downloadable PDF/ eBook links

Fortunately, based from the answers, I think it is allowed to post regardless if it is legally licensed or not. However, there is a reply in my thread that warns me to remove the links available to anyone due to the fact that I am liable for unauthorized distributions if the situation got worse. It's just that I am still lucky sine bitcointalk and GDrive are both protected with DMCA's "Safe Harbor".

I hate to be that guy but as a word of caution: some of those books aren't actually free and I'm guessing that their unauthorized distribution could potentially land you in trouble (luckily for you, book publishers don't really tend to go after infringers). As for Bitcointalk and Google Drive, they are both shielded through DMCA's "Safe Harbor" provision which means they are not liable as long as they comply with takedown requests by copyright holders. Hope everyone learned a bit more about copyright law

Do you think I should remove it? This one still got me guilty

In my opinion, as in the example of the book "Mastering Bitcoin," the link that should be shared is the official version: GitHub version, Open edition, or Published edition.
I think this is to honor Andreas M. Antonopoulos (the author) and also the publisher.

-snip- making PDF copies violates the license and hurts the publisher's (and the author's) ability to make a living. Furthermore, if you make it so the publisher can't recoup their investment, they will delay the release into CC-BY-SA.
Please don't create or distribute PDFs until the license is changed to CC-BY-SA. It is rare for a publisher to agree to even a CC-BY-NC-ND license. Don't make it harder for free culture by violating even that, already generous, license.

Guys,

if you want a real paper book for free, check this out.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5274233

It's really free, with no hidden secrets.

Let's keep the "book you can touch" culture alive.

[Mandarava]

In my opinion, a more effective way by which you can increase your awareness of cryptocurrencies is to read this forum. There is a huge amount of the most diverse information about everything related to cryptocurrencies.
