As for beginner's books, there's a bazillion. The bridge litterature outnumber the poker ditto by a gazillion. Find something on amazone with "beginner" in the title. Well established writers in that area are Eddie Kantar, Mike Lawrence and Hugh Kelsey to mention a few. When you have found some interessting books feel free to ask for an opinion before buying

Holy crap, there are a lot of bridge books!
Eddie Kantar wrote "Bridge for Dummies." It has good reviews and I have some Dummies books.
However, one review says that is uses "a weird ... non-standard point system" that it seems many don't use. Would this hurt me? Any comments on this one?

I don't know that particular book but Eddie Kantar is surely one of the worlds best writers, for advanced players as for beginners. I don't know which review you've read, but I simply don't believe that the book uses a weird point system. All over the world (USA, Denmark, Kenya, Chile, The South Pole....) beginners are taught (sp?) (variants of) the same system.
