You may want to check out the "Dummies" or "Idiot's" books. Not to say you are either, just that they really are good books... it's unfortunate that there's a stigma attached to them. You might want to go to B&N or your local library and just read through them rather than ask someone to buy them.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Backpacking and Hiking
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Backpacking-Lifestyle-Paperback/dp/1592579604
The Backpacker's Handbook has been recommended, but I haven't read it myself.

And of course Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills
https://www.amazon.com/Mountaineering-Freedom-Hills-Mountaineers/dp/1680510045
M:FotH is a comprehensive tome, which may be a bit advanced for someone who is starting out with some car camping. As the name implies, it's aimed towards mountaineers, with sections on rock climbing, belaying, first aid, mountain safety... as a beginner you might pick up some invaluable information, but most of it may be far beyond what you need, it might be a bit overwhelming. Though you may be the type that just loves to soak up everything you, in which case it's a great reference.
If you want to check it out, the Kindle version of the 8th edition has a "Look Inside" which lists the sections and chapters, and has a bit of the first chapter. The latest 9th ed doesn't have the "Look Inside" yet.
