John C. Hull's book - Options, Futures and other derivatives .... this is the basic book for beginners.

"An Introduction to the Mathematics of Financial Derivatives" by Salih Neftci is good for begginers. The exercises at the end of each chapter will help you familiarize with the content. Baxter and Rennie "Financial Calculus: An Introduction to Derivative Pricing" is also very interesting. Read Hull first though...
