There is no such thing as an "evolutionist." There are biologists who specialize in the the theory of evolution. There are many books on the subject. They don't represent "beliefs" though they represent current thought on the subject.
I wanted to add, also, that I do not understand why you said, "I want to buy it [lol]." I assume that the LOL added there means that you really don't want to buy it, as if it would be laughable for you to buy it. I respectfully point out to you that relgious people are permitted to read, understand and even accept as good science the theory of evolution. Even Christians can. It is not a sin at all to believe in or accept the theory of evolution. You won't go to hell for it. All the theory of evolution is is an explanation of how life on earth has changed over time. It does not deny God or Jesus, or Christianity.
The Catholic church accepts evolution as good science. All that means is that you have to think deeper about the story of Genesis and what it means. Catholicism and most Protestant denominations permit "freedom of thought" with regard to the interpretation of Genesis. It is NOT required, in order to be a Christian, to take it literally. That's a fact.
You are free to find the theory laughable, if you like. However, to not buy a book on the theory of evolution because of your preconceived notion that your religion requires you to reject it is illogical, irrational, and, quite frankly, not Christian.

If I were you, I'd start with Betty S. Azar's "Understanding and Using English Grammar." That will help you learn the difference between a verb, such as "believe," and a noun, such as "belief."
Then, you can move onto Bill Bryson's "A Short History Of Almost Everything," which will introduce you to some of the concepts underlying evolution. You might also want to have a look at Simon Winchester's "The Map That Changed The World." It explores geology, and might help you understand some of the processes at work.

Evolutionists don't have beliefs.
One day it might be nice for you to look up science somewhere so you could stop being so ignorant.
If you want to find out about evolution i'd recommend the textbook of the same name by mark ridley, Darwin's origin of species or the modern version called 'almost like a whale' or the selfish gene or blind watchmaker by dawkins.

Well if you were looking for a book that gives you a good overview of evolution I'd recommend reading "The Ancestor's Tale" by Richard Dawkins.

There's no one book that represents my beliefs. I think that's short-sighted to depend on the writings in a single book.

A science book?
It's like asking "Gravity believers! What book best represents what you believe."

Why do you ask a question about evolution in the religious section? Why don't you ask it in the Biology or Geology section? Oh, I bet you thought you were so amusing asking this question...but, no, you weren't...your ignorance is showing.
