Good "learning to knit" book?

My niece has expressed an interest in learning to knit so for Christmas I thought I would gift her with a book and some good yarn and needles for a specific project (a scarf?) and, of course, a coupon for unlimited knitting lessons. I was looking at books on the internet and plan to go peruse them at the bookstores, but was wondering if anyone has seen the book "Ynotknit" by Jill and Susan Wolcott. It says it teaches the continental method of knitting, which is how I knit. I think it is easier on the hands than the "throwing" method. I used to "throw" but I developed arthritis in my right index finger. I even have to reverse the buttons on my computer mouse because of the arthritis! It sounds like it would be a good beginner's book and I hope I can look at one at a bookstore, but I wanted to see if any of you has an opinion on this book or any other that would be suitable. I was also considering "Stitch-n-Bitch" because I think it might appeal to my niece as she is in her mid-20's.Thanks,BonnieBlue
