Good Book for beginners.

Whats a good book to read for beginners for powerlifting.
I am not a powerlifter, mainly a fitness enthusiast and want a good physique but my strength on most major lifts are average to below average. And strength clearly has a correlation with size and muscle shape to some extent. So I want to learn a little bit of powerlifting and increase my lifts.

I haven't read Starting Strength yet, but I've seen many respected people recommend it.

It is an absolute must read for a novice, hardgainer or someone training novices. 15lbs added per week to squat, naturally, yes please.
