Considering he will be looking after his Hermanns for the next 50 years or so I will recommend a more specialised tortoise book.
Naturalistic Keeping and Breeding of Hermanns Tortoises by Wolfgang Wegehaupt ISBN 978-3-9809774-4-4-9
It can be bought from the author who may even sign it for you.
Quite an expensive purchase but ideal for a new keeper. I keep mine at hand and I am always dipping in and out of it.
Well worth buying in my view.
Make sure you order an English copy.
The book was recommended to me when I bought my Hermanni Hermanni.
