I currently work in Support and i'm looking to just have a read about DevOps in my spare time (I enjoy reading books :P) and was wondering if these would be good books to read to get started / provide excellent value career wise. I have no development experience and do very little basic automation for my work using python.
The two books I am considering : 'The Phoenix Project' and 'The DevOps Handbook'
Is one better to start with for complete beginners like myself? is prior knowledge required?
Thanks in advance!
'The Phoenix Project' and 'The DevOps Handbook'
Read the DevOps handbook and Phoenix project. But I don't have a way to change the Org practices because of low rank. What should I do?

DevOps Handbook vs Visible Ops Handbook
Well -- the subtitle of Visible Ops is "Implementing ITIL in 4 Practical and Auditable Steps".
If you're not interested in ITIL, and you are interested in DevOps, then the Devops Handbook (and also Jez Humble's Continuous Delivery and Lean Enterprise, IMO) will be more useful.
(Other than sharing an author, Visible Ops and the Devops Handbook don't have much in common. Visible Ops is not about devops.)
