Word to the wise, unless you need it to be a physical book, get your stuff from Anna’s Archive if money is an issue right now. You can go and support the authors and artists you love when things are better for you.
Further note - look for a book that teaches the fundamentals of sketching. You want to start right, and learn about lines, construction of forms, anatomy (if you’re interested in figures), and real basic stuff like colour. Maybe even a textbook.
Agree with the above. Learning simple stuff such as tone or how-to bunch shapes together is priceless.
Have you considered some short activities? Like put 20 circles on a page and then make them in to objects? 20 seconds per circle. Try some charcoal or chalk. Cheap and forgiving.
I actively enjoy a doodle pad. Learning to make marks and not be scared to make a mess or mistake is very freeing.
