Hi, a good starting point for mediation might be here ->

Mindfulness In Plain English by Ven. Henepola Gunaratana

I found this book really helpful when starting out as it removed a lot of extra stuff around Buddhism and focussed on the nuts and bolts of meditation. Maybe when you have a firm meditation practice established you can then look into all the other wonderful aspects and traditions in Buddhism.

Good luck!
