 since you are new to pmp I would recommend that you read the headfirst book first and then read the pmbok

headfirst will help make the pmbok easier to understand

good luck

Hey


Since you are new to PMP, I would suggest you to go for Headfirst Book, and after that PMBOK 4th Edition. And after that go for RIta's Book.


All the Best
