It's always helpful if you know something about the topic, so at least you've got some ideas, can ask halfway intelligent questions and have a better chance of seeing through a certain amount of BS.
One book you ought to get is Phil Harrington's "Star Ware". Amazon probably has it, but you can get it from him at www.philharrington.net. It's an excellent source for a wide range of telescope and accessory information, and will get you up to speed quickly.
Another, if you want to do astrophotography, is Michael Covington's "Astrophotography For The Amateur". Again, an excellent source.
Sources for equipment include www.astronomics.com and www.telescope.com (Orion).
And be sure to check out Jason Ware's site www.galaxyphoto.com. Lot of good stuff there. He lives in my general area, and I used to go to astrophotography meetings at his home.
Also, get a sturdy mount. They're not cheap, but it'll save you lots of frustration by not having a scope image that starts dancing around every time you touch the scope. Often, the included mount is not stable enough, so you might want to consider an upgrade.
