Yes, there is.

There is a Magazine put out called Magnifcat. You receive 14 issues a year (each month plus a special Christmas and Easter issue). It’s very good. You can order it from the web site.

There is also a good site, Universalis, which does the hours on line. Make sure that you scroll on the ‘calendar’ part: The default may not be right for your area. There is a calendar for the U.S. which is divided into the U.S. where Ascension is celebrated on Thursday, and the U.S. where Ascension is ‘transferred’ to the 7th Sunday of Easter. Once you click whichever one you are (if you’re in the U.S., it will list all the proper feasts etc. for each day and you can find the day and follow along. It has an explanation of how to pray.

It can be a little confusing sometimes (especially when you’re in the ‘special’ seasons; this is actually a good time to start because you have 18 weeks before we get into Advent, plenty of time to get used to the ‘regular’ format.

Good luck and God bless.
 
I suggest you get both the simple booklet as mentioned and the actual Office book. It is good to have both as you learn things there and it is actually nicer to have the book.
I also recomend that if you know another language than English, buy the book in that one because while the English version is the most colorful and probably smallest (the English language is not as elaborate as the Latin ones) it does not have a good translation of the texts.

I am willing to pay $29/year to have it available on my computer. You can print them out if you so desire.

There is also liturgyofthehours.org/

They give the proper page numbers for those who do only Morning and Evening Prayer, and the service is free.
 
I use Christian Prayer. I think it is a good combination of being inclusive of the basics while still being in one book and pretty manageable. It will take a bit to get the hang of, but once you figure it out, it is pretty easy.
