Here is a link to amazon search. Plenty of books on butchering and skinning.

The basics are to separate the hide from the meat and the organs from the carcass. Sizing your knife to the game helps.

You do get over the "sickness" with time. The smell of the insides was what used to get me. I would gag but keep working. The smell hasn't bothered me for years now.

If nobody else tells you, its great of you to get back to your roots and start hunting. Its difficult where you are but stick with it.
