And depending which country you are in, im sure you can get a free copy from Regents Park Mosque in London. inshaAllah.
2. Becoming Muslim is simple and easy. All you have to do is make the Shahada, which is to testify that there is no Deity worthy of worship Except Allah and that Muhammad is his Messenger. That is all there is to it. This is the basics of what makes a Muslim. After this you will need to learn to pray, do ablution (wudhu) etc. Which inshaAllah is not a problem to those who believe in Islam and are sincere.
3. Marriage Contract, is something you have before you get married. It is simple and involves whatever you wish for there to be in it.. You and your Wali (a legal guardian, for non Muslims will need to be a respected Imam or another Muslim .) The groom must pay a dowry to you, of a value of your choice.
Having a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship is something strictly forbidden in Islam. Your Muslim boyfriend unfortunately is sinning just by keeping in contact with you, even if there is no premarital relationship. There is no such thing as "knowing ones limits" in this. Its not allowed to be alone with someone of the opposite sex.
It is important that he gets married or stops seeing you.
Muslims get married by choosing partners who have similar qualities, there is no basis for a 2-3 year boyfriend/girlfriend relationship before marriage like it happens in many non-Muslim communities. Love is meant to be developed after the marriage itself.
