When you say all of the basics of real estate, are you specifically referring to investing, being a licensed agent, or something else? If you're talking about investing, there are many options to choose from and almost all of them have something to take out of them. I don't think one book serves as a complete primer for everything you'll need to know to start. Read as much as you can until it becomes repetitive, be the expert in your field through study and application. Books that I loved:

Building Wealth One House at a Time by John Schaub

Finding and Finding Great Deals by Anson Young

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat: The BRRRR Rental Property Investment Strategy Made Simple by David Greene

If you're looking for books on becoming a licensed agent, lookup an "essentials" or "guide" book to becoming a real estate agent in your particular state along with the state requirements listed online for testing purposes. Many of the books may be available at your free public library or otherwise online. Good luck with the study!

I would start by reading all you can.  Hang out on the forums if you fully engage you will start finding yourself in more and more conversations about investing.

my advice would be once you qualify to buy a place find a good agent/investor he will be happy to only educate you but find you a good deal.

Do both, but read enough to learn basic concepts. 

If we give you 15 or 30 minutes over coffee, you can waste it asking what an option or BRRR is. Or you can already be there and talk about next level, market-specific trends and strategies.
