Introduction to Algebraic Geometry

There are many introductions to algebraic geometry focusing on similar topics to this one (varieties affine and projective). However this one is especially friendly to newcomers and is the only such book that I think is accessible to an average undergraduate (junior or senior year). It is very well written with excellent examples. If you are interested in algebraic geometry you will definately need to proceed beyond this book, but it is a very nice first step.
