Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, the spiritual head of the Dzogchen Community passed away recently. His teachings are truly wonderful, and I'm sure someone will continue his lineage, but it may be a little while before direct transmission is given again in that sangha.

That said, he has some introductory Dzogchen books that are not only fine to read before practicing, but would generally be recommended to do so. In order to practice, one needs to have some understanding of the teachings. The most important factor in this is ones teacher, but that can certainly be facilitated by reading.

His key introductory books would be:

The Crystal And The Way Of Light

Dzogchen The Self Perfected State

Dzogchen Teachings

Teachers fully capable of giving direct introduction and guiding students through the Dzogchen teachings are few and far between. It's likely you'll have to connect with someone who isn't in the UK. However there are some first rate teachers who make trips to UK every year, such as Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and Tsoknyi Rinpoche. Mingyur Rinpoche also often teachers here and nearby countries. All of them also have books that it would be a good idea to read just now, along with online courses that would help to get started in practice before you can meet them in person. They have slightly different styles, so it would be worth doing a little reading, watching video clips etc. to see who you connect with.
