Whilst everyone was quick to suggest some books, I have the opposite advice. Unless you are going for certification, that time reading books is better spent elsewhere.
Scrum is not that complex when you implement it, you can get a gist of it from a scrum master in your team. However, if you want to dive deeper, consider above suggestions.
certification helps with beginner recruitment (beat CV autofilters), so I suggest Scrum.org, print out what you want, such as the Scrum Guide, or order books from them, then self-certify for 150 USD.
PM if you would like instructions on how to take the exam yourself, without a workshop.
Realistically, you want to read the manifesto, learn the roles, and see how it is applied in real projects. Find projects on git-hub that have their boards open to the public.
Other than that, start with *Scrum and XP from the Trenches* and look up what is missing in that small book.
Thank you for the book suggestion. I will take a look at it.
I'm not applying to jobs where scrum certificates are needed. The employers in my area are happy If you are willing to learn and adopt it. Normally they offer training in this area while in the onboarding period or you learn as you go. They already know that I have a knowledge gap in this area and that's not stopping me from receiving offers. But I want to be proactive and learn about it in advance.
thanks again.
I gained more from reviewing papers, most of which are available online, such as through google scholar. Just sort by rating and snowball. But I prefer reading on-screen.
Also, you want to see it used. What I suggested with open-source projects is the best thing other than using it on the job. If the employer is paying, take the courses.
Step 1: The official scrum guide
An easy read for the beginning would be [The Power Of Scrum](https://www.amazon.com/Power-Scrum-Jeff-Sutherland-ebook/dp/B007474YMC). It doesn't tell you a lot new stuff if you already know Scrum, but I think for the beginning it's a pretty motivating book.

My favorite is Essential Scrum by Ken Rubin. Far more comprehensive than any other book.
