I'll take a crack at this since no one else answered. These are some books that I've read about lately... -Getting Started in Commodities by George Fontanills -Starting Out in Futures Trading by Mark Powers -Trading Commodities and Financial Futures by George Kleinman -Futures and Options for Dummies by Joe Duarte -Schwager on Futures by Jack Schwager -How the Futures Markets Work by Jake Bernstein -Gold Trading Boot Camp by Gregory Weldon Jake Bernstein's book is probably the easiest to read while Schwager's book is kind of "dense".
