Hi Mark,
What exactly would you like to program? Are you after a good G-Code book that shows you practical code and how to do particular things?
A few years ago I bought a book from Amazon by Peter Smid called CNC Programming Handbook, 2nd Edition and it is pretty much the bible on G-Code programming with a lot of in depth tutorials and examples. I have had my copy for around 6 years and still find it helpful on many occasions.

As with any technical book there will always be the boredom factor associated with it if you read it like a novel but if you use it for a reference book then I can think of no other one to buy.
Mind you , I have only bought 3 books on programming but this one is really useful, and do read the feedback on Amazon and make your own choice. Keep it by your machine for reference.
I hope others on this forum have bought similar books as well and can shed some light on the subject and you don't just use my judgement.
It's a very expensive book and you may be able to find a cheap 2nd hand one out there for a lot less if you start looking around or even advertise.
Rich.
