Really good beginner book and general reference

This was my first climbing book, and it was very helpful to me. It covers a lot of topics, has helpful illustrations and photos, and clear, encouraging text. If you're new to climbing, or want a good reference book, this is it. From basics to advanced, equipment how-to's, top-roping to leading, this covers it; emphasizing good technique, sound practice, and balance over strength. If I was stranded on a deserted island with a cliff and could choose a climbing book to have, this is the climbing book I'd want.
