Here in the states bookstores and music stores alike have dozens of books from which you can 'learn' guitar. I've never seen one that is head and shoulders above the others, and from what I've seen, there is certainly value in having several. Each will have a different approach and your daughter will learn some from each book.
That having been said, I add that you cannot learn guitar from a book alone. You need to have a decent guitar that doesn't fight the student. PLEASE don't get the cheapest guitar on the shelf. They can be difficult to chord with the left hand, difficult to keep in tune, and uncomfortable to play. All these factors will discourage practice and enjoyment of the instrument. Certainly avoid anything with a so-called tremelo, which is actually a vibrato, for a beginner. I've long thought that a Gibson SG style guitar would be good for a beginning electric guitarist. If you're going electric, even a cheap amp is better than none at all, but get one without all the sound effects so that the student can hear the sound of the guitar, not the amp.
Acoustic guitars take more muscle from the hands to play, and extra expense in getting a decent one will pay off well in the long run. You don't have to spend a fortune but I'll give you this guideline - find the absoulute cheapest guitar you can find (not a toy one, a real wood one) and multiply the cost by about 2.5 for one that could be worth trying to learn on.
You may also consider instructional DVD's to supplement the guitar books.
Sorry about being so long winded but I wish someone had given similar advise to me and my brother years ago.
