If I was brand new to tennis, this is the book I would start with. It has a lot of great tips for keeping tennis simple while remaining effective. I wish it went a little bit deeper, but for how it's marketed ("in two hours"), this is a great foundation. It also has a Troubleshooting appendix at the end with tips and drills. That's a fantastic resource.

Stop reading his books. They helped me a long time ago, but I'm past them now.

Play Better Tennis in Two Hours has a lot of good tips and tricks for those who feel their teaching pros over-complicated the game. Oscar Wegner urges readers to let go of that complexity and play the game - and have fun. This book wasn't life-changing for me, but I enjoyed reading it and flipped through it on occasional during my high school tennis years.
