Derivatives Book for Commodities

I have some time before I start at a physical shop and wanted to study up on derivatives. I took a course that used Hull in school but found the book difficult to get through (I understand this is the gold standard rec. for derivatives intros). Are there any alternatives more suitable specifically for physicals? Would something like The Art of Grain Merchandising be a good option?

Thanks!

not much available. LME website has some loose guides, can use that as a springboard to look around. PM if you want.
