Phil Rowley has some great books on fly tying. Some of his do have step by step instructions in them. One of Phils that I like the best is Fly Patterns for Stillwaters. A study of trout entomology and tying. It does have some step by step instructions.
There is another good one called Fly Pattern Encyclopedia by Al and Gretchen Beatty. It's got probably 1000 different patterns in it. So a good variety. No step by step. But it won't take you long to figure out what steps are needed to tie a variety of flies.
Edited to add. That of course You Tube is probably your best source these days for step by step instructions. Not only do you get step by step instructions. But you also get commentary. There are a few people that I would recommend you look at. Todd Oishi, Sport Fishing On The Fly, and as above Phil Rowley has some good videos as well. There are thousands more as well. So find a fly you like and type it in and see who is tying it and follow along.
Good luck and tight lines.
