For someone seeking help with choosing openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site. Perhaps you would also want to look at Discovering Chess Openings by GM Johm Emms (2006).

What is a good opening for a player at my level to learn when I'm playing as white? Thanks
