Yes, this is the best book for a beginner. Not only will it explain how to do the lifts in great detail, it'll also make you appreciate why you should be lifting.
After reading the book, I would still go to a personal trainer. A few hundred dollars to have someone help you learn an important life-long skill is good value. Book is great, but having someone watch over you and correct you in the beginning is still very important.

Agreed, but I'd get someone familiar with the book or that specialises properly in powerlifting or strength training. Not personal trainer of the day at the nearest Globo Gym.
