If you are looking for a fairly straightforward guide, try "The Poor Are Always With Us" by Eve McLaughlin It is more of a booklet than a book and costs £3 here. "Family Tree Magazine" is published by ABM Publishing and they have an online bookshop at http://family-tree.co.uk/acatalog . I believe that they also have an Australian wing to their organisation, so you may not have to pay a currency transfer charge, other Aussies may be able to advise you on this point.
