Path to the Black Belt by Rodrigo Gracie and Kid Peligro is very solid for a beginner.

The TS has only done BJJ for a month so this would be too advanced.

At this point, I'd recommend reading your own training log.

The Guard books
Any Gracie or Machado books.

These would probably be best if you are just starting.

I wouldn't look into any of Eddie Bravo's books or Marcelo's book until you are at least 6 or 7 months in.
