There were two nice books I had as a beginner, they kept me quite busy for a couple of years

The first was an old copy of Norton’s Star atlas. On the back of each map was a list of the best sights worth looking imat with an 8” scope. This is also valuable for the rest of the general info it contains from setting up your scope, info about telescopes, solar system statistics, moon chart and much more.

Similarly an old colour atlas by Patrick Moore, which had useful lists for each map, though that had a distinctly northern bias.
