Spiders, I taught myself beds from A Manual of Bedfordshire Lace by Pam Robinson (ISBN: 0903585200)- I liked the way you took the booklet out the back with each part of beds with a number against it and could look it up. I know some find this just as complicated but I mastered beds in a summer using this book.
I don't know if you can still get it but our library had a copy recently so as a starter book it might be good. I recently bought Barbara Underwood's book to work through as a refresher but as I have now decided to spend time doing bruge and honiton I can't comment on it.
