Automate the Boring Stuff versions I & II and as David mentioned in 
another post, Think Python are available free on line. I don't know if 
the other books mentioned have a free on line version or not.

Since you prefer hard copy I would check out the free on line ones and 
buy a hard copy of the one that suits your style of learning.

Just be sure to get one that covers some version of Python 3.
