Books

• The Lattice Boltzmann Equation for Fluid Dynamics and Beyond
• Lattice Boltzmann Method - Fundamentals and Engineering Applications with Computer Codes
• Lattice Boltzmann Modeling - An Introduction for Geoscientists and Engineers

The best book, in my opinion, is

• Lattice Gas Cellular Automata and Lattice Boltzmann models

which has a chapter on the required statistical mechanics background as well.

Reviews

• Lattice boltzmann simulations of soft matter systems
• Lattice Boltzmann methods for fluid flows
• Lattice-Boltzmann Simulations of Particle-Fluid Suspensions

My suggestion is to look at some of the free codes and get it running first --reproduce the Poseuille flow. Just look at a one-component, single-relaxation time, two-dimensional model (D2Q9) first. Then you can worry about other complications.
