There is a book on this exact subject, by the great illustrator David Macaulay...
"Unbuilding" This fictional account of the dismantling and removal of the Empire State Building describes the structure of a skyscraper and explains how such an edifice would be demolished.

The author is awesome. One of my favorite books as a kid was Motel of the Mysteries, an account of a future archeologist stumbling upon a preserved 1980s motel room and misinterpreting every thing inside.
Another favorite was Unbuilding, which was about dismantling the Empire State Building, shipping it to the Middle East and rebuilding it.
He also had a series about how various old, impressive structures (cathedrals, mosques, pyramids) were built.
In short, David Macaulay is a badass.
Read Unbuilding by David Macaulay. It is a young adult "fiction" about a Saudi prince who has it dismantled and shipped to Saudi Arabia. This is now how it would be demolished but it gives a very good look on how the building is put together and gives you an idea of the scope of the job.
David Macaulay wrote and drew a book about a Middle Eastern billionaire buying the Empire State Building and dismantling it piece by piece.
This one, different picture but almost as bad:

So as far as hobby books go, I'd generally suggest the Forest Mims Engineering note books. They have a ton of useful circuits, and mini projects and stuff. Very useful for Tinkering and useful all around. Also pretty easy to read and follow.
Yep. How about this book by the same author? It's an illustrated speculative fiction (for kids) about how one might go about dismantling the Empire State Building and moving it to the middle east.
These three books are AWESOME reference materials for beginners:
