Can someone recommend good book about finishing? I have no finishing experience.

I liked Bob Flexner's book _Understanding Wood Finishing_.

Ditto, I'll also add Jewett's 2004 book:
I have both, and give the slight nod to Jewitt for updated information, especially about water base materials.

This fellow is pragmatic, and has good advice for beginning to intermediate finishers.

other recommendations I saw were also excellent.

In this order:
"Hand-Applied Finishes" by Jeff Jewitt. (best all-around) "Understanding Wood Finishing" by Bob Flexner. (best technical) "Woodfinishing Book" by Michael Dresdner. (worst photography, but there is a new--titled "New WF Book"--copy out which I haven't seen.) "Spray Finishing" by Andy Charron (also "waterborne finishes")
I haven't seen Frank Klausz' finishing book, but I know he loves Waterlox on Cherry and I'm sure the book is a good one.
My suggestion: Get some Waterlox and give it a try. Once you get a good finish with that, you can experiment with other, more picky finishes. But this one can't be beat.
