If you can get hold of Marshak: portrait of a planet, its an excellent introduction book to geology and really easy to understand. Its a slippery slope though, once you start to understand your rocks it becomes dangerous to drive through mountains as you spend half your time spotting faults and looking at outcrops when you should be watching the road.

Portrait of a planet
It's a very good book. Basic when you first read it, but you'll get deeper every time you go through it. My first and best geology book.
not sure if this book is readily available in the UK, but I've read it and it's good
