I've got to disagree with the Ciaffone's Middle Limit Holdem as a good book for a beginner. There's some good ideas in there but using them in a low limit game will get one killed. For playing 1-2, 2-4, and 3-6 on Party, that book is not appropriate.

Could you expound on why you feel MLH would be bad for a beginner as an extension of WLLH as suggested above? And can we assume a beginner means someone who plays at .5/1 and maybe 1/2? Very few beginners are even playing 2/4 and 3/6 online, although they might be in casinos, I suppose.
By the way,
Mason Malmuth's review of Middle Limit Hold'Em is here. He has some reservations about the book; but if I'm reading him correctly, the issues he has with it might tend to conform to the Jones WLLH style of keeping beginners out of trouble at the slight expense of not optimizing every play.
