Perhaps the best

I had played tennis for decades and had read many tennis books. This is one of the shortest, but nevertheless the best, in particular for beginners, who need not words, but tons of colored good photos, to show them, pic by pic, step by step, the correct grip and foot work. It's great. Highly recommended.
