if you push your budget up to £125 FLO (first light optics) have a startravel Refractor on an EQ1 mount or a 114mm newt on an eq1 mount, these are great places to start, also they have dobsonians and AZ mounts in the same price range. The choice is very vast but the 114 will be nice for views of jupiter, saturn and the moon

also dont mind used

If you can find a star travel 80 on an az3 that is a great starter. No books hmmm, free download of stellarium planetarium program can be found here. :-- http://www.stellarium.org/
