What is the best book to learn Keyboard Piano?

I have a keyboard. I would like to know the best book out there in the market that can help me in mastering the keyboard piano. On Amazon there are around 10000 books on this topic and I am totally lost! Help please :)
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A teacher would be the easiest way of course, but there are other ways.
I taught myself keyboard.

I got some VERY simple song books (like kid's disney books) with no chords. Just something that was cheap and appealed to me. Familiar songs so I could learn timing as well. I looked online to figure out where a key was... I used G, which is the first white key between two black keys.

And the note on the second to bottom line of the treble staff.
Then, I just took songs slowly. I looked at the music and looked at the book to figure out what was going on. I eventually printed off more music to take on more complicated songs (without chords). Then I started again with a very easy song WITH chords. It's hard to co-ordinate but just takes practice.

I don't have any specific titles to recommend, but try a site like this http://www.gopiano.com/ or search up free online piano lessons. Go in to a store and ask what books they recommend. It might be a good idea to take a lesson or two to start, which can be done fairly cheap :)

A book on its own can be a bit limiting if you want to learn the piano or keyboard. You can get teach yourself piano courses that have ebooks, video and audio files plus software to help teach you to read music, there is more info at http://www.easy-pianolessons.com/
