Great Book for beginners

I have been using this book (and others) for over 25 years. Whenever I need to remind myself of the basics, this is the book I always grab first. This is the best book of it's kind that I've run accross.

Meyer's Probability

This is the best introductory text in probability ever. Good examples, clear, with lots of good questions and answers. Forget the others, this is the one.

Excellent tutorial-like introduction to modern probability

This book is the best textbook for introduction to probability. Forget Chung, forget Ross, forget Feller. All these books assume that you know probability and that you are either revising or looking for advanced concepts. But the book in question assumes only some knowledge in calculus. The chapters are easy-paced and there are nemerous exercises to help you understand the concepts. Another factor that adds to the utility of the book, is the thoughtful addition of answers to most of the exercises. This makes the book suitable for self-study. I would heartily recommend the book to any person new to probability.
