My favorite beginner's book is Beginner's Guide to Quilting by Elizabeth Betts. Also, Craftsy has some free classes. You can also check out /r/quilting's wiki for a pretty comprehensive list of how to get started and beginning supplies.
Do you know what pattern or block you're going to do? With any pattern, especially if you're machine piecing, it is CRITICAL to pin seams securely. This is what makes all the difference between all those blocks lining up and slightly off messy looking lines.
Also, hand quilting is not easy and take practice to get the motion down. Don't be disheartened! It seriously takes a lot of practice to get those tiny stitches down. I've been focusing on big stitch quilting which gives a different look, but it still works well. If you have a regular sewing machine, you are pretty much limited to straight line quilting with it.
Man being single has definitely allowed me to pick up a new hobby! I recently picked up quilting and I love it!! Something that would really help me out is this book! Thank you for the contest!
