What''''s the best book on sailing for beginners

Annapolis is great and thorough, but huge and very detailed.

"The Compleat Sailor" is one I''ve recommended to a few friends with success (loaned out too, or I''d tell you the author). It is by no means exhaustive like Annapolis or Chapman''s, but it has some pretty clear and basic info on the fundamental concepts.
