The Complete Book of Flytying by Leiser or Shaw's Fly-tying would be the best choices. Both books cover basic techniques in a step by step manner, in easily digestible pieces. I own a copy of Leiser's book, and loan it out frequently to those who are considering tying or are just starting out tying.
For example, the part where Leiser says "Now you are really entitled to a breather. You've completed the most difficult tying operation a beginner-and for that matter some advanced tiers-encounters. So take another break." This style breaks people into tying without stress. Though a great book, Benchside Reference is not a beginners book. It is not a step by step guide to tying basic patterns.
