Can anybody recommend a VBA for Excel manual for beginners?

I want to learn to create macros for Excel. Can anybody recommend a manual for beginners that have a coherent, easy to understand presentation? I tried VBA for Dummies, Microsoft VBA Excel manual, and another book for intermediate VBA users but I find all of them kind of difficult. I mean they address the topics not exactly from simple to complex. I would like a book that will list all options (functions, procedures, properties) with definitions and easy to understand and replicate examples. Probably all these info are in the online help inside VBA Excel, but to print everything I find that a difficult task (time consuming with the chance to miss or skip something). Thank you for your help.

Try Reed Jacobson's Excel 97 or 2000 visual basic for applications step by step book with disk of examples and work sessions.

Follow with John Walkenbach's Fomulas:
Excel VBA for dummies
and Excel Power Programming
(not exact titles) all exceptional good value.
