"option made easy" is out there. I forgot the name of the author. It's very standard and friendly to read. But, I really think you ought to check out Lawrance McMillan's book on options. He is regarded as the best option trader of all times. Remember, options are a fairly young science.

Guy Cohen is the author of hte 1st one, I have both those you are talking about! Both great books!

Blain, http://www.CBOE.com has a few good options tutorials if you want something other than a book!

McMillan on Options is an advanced read. If you are going to trade options you should subsribe to an option software such as option vue. The key to options is understanding volatility and its effect on option prices and having a software such as option vue can do this. Option Vue also has tutorial and web cast learning programs and for $5k you can get personal serive from a 22 year CBOX trader.
