Reddit mentions of Super Stitches Crochet: Essential Techniques Plus a Dictionary of more than 180 Stitch Patterns

I suggest buying this book and looking it over. It's got so much amazing, clearly written content, and makes it very simple to learn. It is by no means exhaustive but it's a great "beginner on the verge of intermediate" book - and there's enough content that you'll find yourself going back to it again and again when your skill level improves, even when you reach "advanced" skill. I am in the latter category and it's still something I keep by my bedside to look over!
