Re: best book for beginner that teaches being very tight/agressive?
Not to blaspheme in the 2+2 forums, but I would recommend reading Winning Low Limit Hold 'Em, by Lee Jones. The writing style of the book is conducive towards learning how Hold 'Em is played. Problems with his advice have been discussed and rehashed in this forum, and it may not teach them to play quite as tight as you might like. But, for the combination of reasonable advice and readability, I believe it's best.
For whoever passes your "weeder course", you could then discuss some of the looseness in his book, or even better -- have them read Sklansky's Hold 'Em to teach them tight play. For a total novice, the style of Sklansky's Hold 'Em can be difficult to penetrate (my own opinion).
Good luck.
