As former instructor and 45+ years of sailing...2 good books for beginners. Colgate's Fast Track gives a very concise, clearly written 3 day program. A better 3 day jump start than any other I've found. Focuses on the core skillset to survive your first few missions. The Annapolis book is your in-depth comprehensive reference for all sailing related subjects. Way to thick to read straight through. Use it like an encyclopedia.
My dad and I taught ourselves how to sail, my dad handled the boat buying so I don't have any advise on that, but we used this book to learn the sailing part. It keeps it simple enough that its easy to pick up, but it also has more in depth details for when your ready to learn more: http://www.amazon.com/Fast-Track-Sailing-Learn-Three/dp/0071615199
