Jawad,
The best book though are Bernie Schaeffer book The Option Advisor
(http://www.optionsource.com/book.htm). This is probably the best book I
have read on options. It will not teach you Black & Scholes options
valuation methodologies, but it will show you how to best use options and
option strategies as an individual investor. Finding mispriced options
(using Black Scholes) is a quite tough business that big banks are doing all
the time, so as a small investor this is not a good approach. Markets are
so efficient these days so these mispricing opportunities are quickly gone.
