Default best beginners book overall

Chapman's Pikoting is one good source for all round seamanship; there's
also a Dummy book pn sailing for the semi-literate. If you want to get
really into ot, get a Bowditch or a Bluejacket Mariners and get totally
swamped in terms and lingo.

Looking for a little advise on what I could read to get a good overall
knowledge of sailing. I plan on taking a power squadron class but would
like to know more than nothing before I get there. In fact I know I
don't know anything so that is something...right?

Any advise would be great.
thanks,
Scott
