Search this site - plenty of tried & tested recipes right here before you go anywhere else.
It might also be an idea to say where you are, so people can recommend books available locally too.

I am from /live in uk and I have just started to make bread I went to collage did lvl 1 all the help would be amazing
You can just cruise through TouTube videos and pick up a lot of practical info.
Here's one search: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bread+baking
Here's another: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bread+shaping
and another: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Peter+Reinhart
I've prowled YouTube quite a bit and learned a lot of practical stuff there.
I'd buy one or two of the books listed on FreshLoaf ( see http://www.thefreshloaf.com/bookreviews )starting with one of Reinharts books.
King Arthur Flour has a lot of bread info. So does Fleischmans Yeast.
This "Old School" video on Vimeo is one of my favorites: https://vimeo.com/9536889
People have been making bread the same way in the middle east since ancient Egypt.
This site (The Fresh Loaf) has amazing information in the 'Classes' and 'Handbook' tabs, as well as on the forums. I also like Ken Forkish's videos on YouTube. The full set of "Flour Water Salt Yeast" videos is here> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0owQi_U44c&list=PLWqTac5vy0cfmXcQgnMAZl6z69kpmUzBI. You might find his stuff a little bit advanced (he works with very wet dough which is a bit tricky if you're not used to it), but if you want to bake really good artisan bread it gives you a good start.
