I use the Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting as my reference. It gives good basic instructions for just about everything.

I was going to say pretty much anything from Eleanor Burns, especially her Underground Railroad, but, after checking out Quilting for Dummies, I would have to agree with Sandilee and choose that one.

The bookstore or an online book source like Abes books is a good way to find a basic guide book for quilting. I paid $5 for Better Homes and Gardens quilting book at Borders along time ago.
I read it then it sits on my bookshelf not used again.
I learned to quilt by watching videos on the web. Quilt In A Day has lots of Eleanor Burns videos to watch. She is the best teacher for beginners.
A great free video site is:

You tube has lots of videos also.

My go to that has everything for quilting is "The Quilting Answer Book" by Barbara Weiland Talbert. You can get it in a portable edition looks to be about 5 x 7 - it has everything about making a quilt from start to finish - including math, binding, fabric, and everything. I use this book to teach myself anything about quilting.
