So, I want to buy a book for my mum when I come out so it can explains to her anything that she may not understand (She loves to read) Any suggestions for a good book, I have to be able to get it at a local book store. Even though im going to get very strange looks buying it, but oh well

Please any suggestions would be really greatly appreciated.

The Last Time I Wore a Dress or The Uninvited Dilemma : A Question of Gender!

As a primer, this book is not bad:

True Selves: Understanding Transsexualism: For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals (1996) - Mildred L. Brown * Amazon * WorldCat

This is freely available on the internet:

Mom, I Need To Be a Girl (1998) - Evelyn D. Lindenmuth * Amazon * WorldCat * Online

This is a pamphlet put out by PFLAG:

Welcoming our Trans Family and Friends

Harry Benjamin Syndrome Review gets into the medical and legal side of things and is new in 2010

I've read a lot of those available, but after I read True Selves I ordered ten copies to give to my relatives and some friends.
