Solid book for snowboarding newbies

After a fairly aggravating first-time try at snowboarding last winter (lousy snow, mediocre instruction, ... rental equipment), I got this book, among several others. Ms. Older lays out the basics of getting started in this sport in clear, jargon-free language, covering areas such as proper clothing to wear, boots, bindings, the right board, beginning exercises and then actual riding technique. After reading this book, I have some hope that even a middle-aged guy like me, with a somewhat beat-up body, can eventually make it down a mountain in one piece.
