Jeff Wilson's a very knowledgeable modeller & hobbyist. I really use this book a lot in building my railroad. I think it has a lot for both the "rookie" and reminders/some details for the "veteran". There's good recommendations, quite a bit of step by step, and some follow-on references to expand your knowledge & library. While it doesn't go in to super detail on scenery, building construction, detailing, etc, I definitely feel it's a 'must-have' for anyone who wants to really step-in and start to build an HO Layout. There's other books on specific areas, but this one's for the "first steps"!

HO Scale Model Railroading: Getting Started In The Hobby is an easy-to-use guide by model railroading expert Jeff Wilson specifically for beginners about to embark upon the joys and travails of setting up and running a model railroad. Full color illustrations, practical advice on everything from selecting the right tools, to wiring and train control, to creating realistic scenery, to special track plans and reverse loops, fill the pages of this superbly useful guide highly recommended for novice model railroading enthusiasts.
