Welcome to DB mate! With regards to books, you might have confused titles; there is a book called 'One Breath' by UK Freediving supremo Emma Farrell and 'Manual of Freediving' by Italian legend Umberto Pellizzari. Both are excellent. With regard to fins, do a search on DB as there have been many discussions on this topic. You are starting out so don't worry about 'best' times at the moment; chill out and enjoy the ride. You will find lots of useful info. here and do a course if you can! Good luck.
