Hi Jerry,
welcome,
I would recommend some simple small books for the first reading like:
Mary Blewitt - "celestial navigation for yachtsmen" (considered to be a bestseller in celestial navigation due to its simplicity)
Hewitt Schlereth - "celestial navigation in a nutshell"
Also you can find some useful videos on youtube.
Celestial navigation is a subject which consist of many pieces and there are many ways to go wrong. A firm understanding of the basics is a must.
regards,
Igor
