The Back Yard Astronomers Guide is a great all round intro to this little hobby.

Pocket Sky Atlas is great.

Interstellarum is fantastic, but expensive, and probably overwhelming as your very first atlas (it might be your last)

I am also partial to the Atlas of the Messier Objects book... some history, some science and beautiful observing notes.

The O'Meara books are quite good too.
