Just bought and read "Turn Left at Orion" and it is very much into starhopping with some good techniques and explanations. Limited of course by the number of objects it covers and tends to be northern hemisphere oriented but an excellent starter.
I spend a lot of time on Stellarium getting my head around a targets navigational pointers as much as to find it as well as to identify it correctly. My binocs help too when I'm out there. The wider feild of view gives me a perspective to work in from.
