Hey Jimmy! Welcome! I started out with Astronomy Australia and think it is a terrific book and quite helpful. Hands down the best book for beginners through to keen stargazers is The Stargazers Guide to the Night Sky; but it is American so you'd have to search a bit for it (it is by Dr Jason Lisle)..and just a heads up, it is authored by a Creationist but IS NOT an apologetic book at all...I've never read a better one on stargazing - it is practical and very informative...enjoy..oh, and, the night sky is a "book" all of it's own
