Cameras are often suggested that cost megabucks, Books that are a must for people who already have a good knowledge but not for someone with
little cash.

How about we suggest a general beginners kit along the lines of a good general book and a pair of binos;

1/Readers Digest, Wildlife Plants and Flowers
2/Lidl, Bresser Binoculars
I certainly can't fault your choice of the Readers Digest field guides, they are excellent, I have almost the complete set, however as for being cheap, I think not. I am trying to get the butterflies and moths edition and even second hand on the internets favouirite auction site, it is comanding a price of almost thirty pounds, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
