I think this is the first aromatherapy book I got, recommended by a friend. I guess it was pretty good for a beginner, but I've found others I like better. This book is small, basically six sections, 128 pages long, lots of pictures. The first 53 pages cover introducing essential oils (a lot stuff you probably will skip even if you are a beginner), and then massage techniques (only interesting if you want to know about that). After that, the book covers using essential oils for some common ailments, emotions, and mental energy. Lastly, there's a good directory of essential oils and carrier oils, which are good for a quick reference.

I was thrilled with how much I learned. I used to think aromatherapy was bogus but they use a lot of science and biology to explain how it works. I'm excited to try some of these things.
