Bang is by far the best entry level book on game ever written. I'm not just saying that because I'm on Roosh's forum. I've had several of my friends buy the book from his website whereas I will usually just tell them were a product is located for, ahem, considerably less than retail.
In my opinion, the three best books for the beginning gamer would be:
1. Bang by Roosh
2. Magic Bullets by Nick Savoy
3. The Juggler Method by Juggler (because it really helps with conversational ability, not running out of things to say, etc.)
Honorable mention: Mystery Method by Mystery
I have almost every game product ever written and I would say these are the best for a beginner just starting out with no knowledge of game.
I would also have the prospective student read the Heartiste archives, especially from the early days: 2007-2010.
And I would also steer them to the YaReally archive over at

YaReally is one of the most astute commentators in all of the manosphere or game related blogs. You can learn a lot from his analysis of game.
The Book of Pook is also a great place to start.
