If you're not that experienced then def get a Haynes (there's another manual by Clymer which I've never seen - are they any good does anyone know?) and start with the easy stuff: oil and filter change for instance which, unless you're a complete dunce, should be a doddle - and work your way up so to speak.
Tool wise; Halfrauds do a (50 piece?) socket set which you can usually find on special offer and is a good place to start - then gradually build on it as and when you need stuff - oil filter wrench when you do an oil and filter change for example.
There are plenty on here with lots of experience in ruining a perfectly good bike by trying to service it themselves so don't be afraid to ask

Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
