Any good books on string theory

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding suitable books on string theory for readers with a basic understanding of physics, specifically those familiar with single-variable calculus and Newtonian mechanics. Recommendations include a specific book linked from Amazon, which is suggested as a good starting point. Additionally, works by Brian Greene are highlighted as valuable resources for those looking to delve deeper into string theory without encountering overly simplistic content.

Not sure what section to put this in, so I'll put it here. Are there any good books on string theory that are good for someone who is a bit more than a layman (i.e. no extremely superficial, dumbed-down stuff), but still doesn't know more than single variable calculus and Newtonian mechanics?
