Look at overgrow.com in the FAQ section. IF not there try the erowid site ( at www.erowid.org ) and check their grow guides. You should find enough info and grow guides to start off.
what you actually need is not a book, but seeds, soil, sun or lights.....lol i can e-mail a guide for you? good luck
marijuana has its nickname WEED for a reason... its not very hard to grow... well the more time and effort you put into it the better of stuff yhou will get out of it but for some average stuff just put some plants out in a forest.. ( where it will get some light ) and water it every no in then... thats what i did when i was a kid and i couldnt grow to much indoors cuz my parents would bust me... but now taht im outta that house straight up fun.. GOOD luck man
