The Amazon ad at the bottom of the page at

lists several snowboard books.
Some others I like (with my comments) that you can get at Amazon:
The Illustrated Guide to Snowboarding by Kevin Ryan
I referred to this book repeatedly during my snowboard learning years. My
snowboard bible!
Snowboarding by Effin Older
A compact basic book on snowboarding. Enjoyable extras are the sharp
color photos, illustrated stretching /exercise routine, and emphasis on
safety padding.
Snowboarding for Women: A Guide for the Betty Shred Wannabe
by Chickie Rosenberg
Even the most reluctant winter sports un-enthusiast won’t say "it's too
cold" "I don't know how," "I'm too old" or "I'm afraid of heights" after
reading this inspiring book.

Want to help avoid snowboard dings and dents
on yourself and your family this season?
Gloves - Flexmeter snowboard specific gloves were designed by an
emergency room physician who tended to thousands of snowboarders broken
wrists.
They are new and will have a write-up in the NY Times next week.
Protect your wrists - to keep snowboarding, AND being able to use your
computer this season.

Azzpadz - I would not ride without these. Prevent black and blue butt and
shockwaves
up your spine by letting the hard plastic shell and soft foam inner liner
absorb your pain.
