Which ASA to use with Plus-X?

Hi! I've never used B&W film before and I wanted to try it so I purchased a roll of Kodak PX 125 B&W and I'm not sure what ASA to set my camera at. Is "125" the film speed? and is this a good choice of film for someone new to B&W? I also purchased a Yellow #8 filter, will this improve the quality of any images I capture using B&W? I haven't loaded this film in the camera as yet because I want to have some idea of what I'm doing before I get started so I'll be waiting for your help. Also, is there any books you might recommend for someone just getting started in B&W photography? Thanks! Gene
