Agree that you can't go wrong with Ted Hooper's guide and you won't outgrow it as you gain experience. The BBKA Guide to Beekeeping is a good beginners' choice.

Has anyone read Adrian and Claire Waring's book published this year: Get Started in Beekeeping? Should tick the box for those starting out.
