Are you aware that they sell these 'packages' for 250 pounds?
Edit: Sorry, make that 340 pounds!

The druids were a class of professionals in some Celtic cultures. So druids, the historical sort, were Celts. 
Modern neo-druidry (the kind you'll read about in books telling of druidic religion) can run the gamut from being concerned with historicity of their religious practices, to being completely indifferent to them, and merely use the label druid as a romantic self identification. |

Should I read about Celtic first, before I read about Druidry? Thank you for the helpful info by the way.

I think that's a good idea. It helps you make sense of many customs and concepts present in modern druid religions, along with being able to see what is based off historical pagan ideas, and what is more modern.
This site is ran by some folks who identify as Celtic reconstructionist pagans, which means they're trying to rebuild Celtic religions as they would've been if they weren't suppressed by the Catholic church. http://www.paganachd.com/faq/readinglist.html
Their reading list is MARVELOUS for getting some ideas on which books to get.
This site is ran by a Scottish polytheist, but she discusses Irish sources and history a lot (since nearly all of the Celtic mythology we have is from Ireland): http://www.tairis.co.uk/ She really knows her stuff. Explore her site, look at the book list, read the articles, and learn!
Of course, you don't have to identify as a Celtic recon pagan by any means, it's not for everyone. But they tend to be very good at compiling sources to learn from.
