"Beginning Python From Novice to Professional" is a good book too...

The best start for python is "Python for Kids.pdf". You can download the book from here:

I started python with that book, it was a great tutorial with so clear explanation. Attention that it's a book for kids! So you can't find any other refrence better than this! Try it.

I do not want to confuse you by adding more books to your list but al sweigart free books are good books to practice with after you have learned the basics of python
