hello everyone, i just want to know about some good reference to learn high energy physics, maybe with some examples for real world practical application... and i heard that old books with this topic is far better than the new ones, can anyone here recommend a book or two? thanks before and i am sorry if my question sounds silly on here

You need to describe at what level do you want the book to be. It is pointless to recommend, say, the Perkins text if you don’t know Quantum mechanics already.

let's say i have little or no knowledge about quantum mechanics, could you recommend a book suitable for that?

Then I do not believe any of the texts that Demystifier recommended will suit you.

Do you want to learn about "high energy physics" or, in actuality, "elementary particles" specifically? Without any of the prerequisites, the one place that I've often recommendeded is the Particle Adventure website, rather than a book.
