Some of the best astrophysics textbooks for beginners include "An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics" by Bradley W. Carroll and Dale A. Ostlie, "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson, and "Astrophysics: A Very Short Introduction" by James Binney. These books provide a solid foundation in astrophysics concepts and are accessible to those new to the subject.
