They're good books but I find them terrible suggestions for complete newbs. I don't recommend those until they're already in the boat.
Just started reading nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak and Matthew Lysiak book #fiat food. What a crazy first few chapters. Really impressed with the clarify of the story telling. Will certainly be recommending it to my family to read (they probably won’t but at least I tried 🤦🏻♂️😂)

I always send the ‘bullish case for Bitcoin’ as a warm up or a youtube of the @tuttletwins this seems a little more gentle entry
I use "The Little Bitcoin Book" or "Magic Internet Money" myself. If I know the person is a liberal, I'll recommend "The Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" as it usually hits all of their key opposition points. All three can be quickly read and are easily digestible to a non-technical person, which is a biggie in my book.
If they come back to me after that, then I'll give them the next level reads.
Not read the progressive case for bitcoin. Is it good?
I think it does a good job hitting the usual talking points they find important. Each chapter after the base is hits one like energy usage and environment, banking system, poor and marginalized people, inflation and wealth inequality, war and peace, etc.
Cool. I have a lot of liberal friends so maybe one to read and then pass on to them
I would agree. I tend to send the bullish case for Bitcoin as a first read of what Bitcoin is.
