One book for beginners...
I am 46 year old too, started weight training 2 years ago. With 3-12 lbs dumbbells. (From Target:-))
My starter book was: Workouts for Dummies by Tamilee Webb. You can find it in public libraries, in bookstores - take a look in it.
This book explains the basics, and does not require gym. Despite of the "dummies" in the title, this book is serious. (Includes similar exercises than bodybuilder books, the only difference that Tamilee starts with 5- 10 lbs instead of 50-100 lbs.)
Fully illustrated, giving advices how to increase/decrease intensity, how to create a workout plan etc.
(There are many dummies books about weight training, but all other require gym equipments.)
