Welcome.  I hope you will find this newsgroup pleasantly helpful.

You can use Python perfectly well without IDLE.  (I have, for years.)
If your book requires IDLE, you must either get IDLE or stop using
that book.   There are good Python tutorials online (Google will
find many), so you might not need any book.

Also, you'll be more likely to get good help from this group if you
mention what operating system and what version of Python you use.

I believe IDLE is part of the Python distribution. Do a search for idle
from the python directory.

On Windows, the installer has a checkbox, default checked, to install 
tcl/tk, tkinter, and idle.  There is an IDLE icon in the Python x.y 
group in the Start menu.

I don't know the details for other systems.
