I was taught to bead by an art teacher when I was around 10 years old. So I never really learned from a book. Right now I exclusively work with delica beads because they are more structured and I feel that they come in a lot of colors. But for a beginner, I would recommend working with seed beads at first because they are bigger and easier to work with.
Threads come in many sizes. You don't want to work with sewing thread because that is too thin. I use size KO thread with delicas and I'm sure it would be just fine for seed beads as well. Or perhaps D thread.
Use needles specifically for beading because other kinds of needles are too big and will break the bead.
As for instructional books - I'm sorry but I don't have any to recommend. I make my own patterns and usually browse my local bead shop for big decorative beads like the ones you saw in my picture. If you can find a bead shop in your area I would see if they have starter classes.
Usually in the past when someone wanted to learn how to bead, I would give them the materials and an hour of hands on teaching. I would tell them to keep practicing for a couple of days to get used to the idea and I would check back in with their project. :)
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
