There is a Taoist canon, and it's immense. Your problem is that

1.Taoism is completely local to China, and not an international religion. It's also heavily mixed with other local Chinese "pagan" religion and culture

2.There is no orthodoxy sorting everything out saying scholar A is wrong and scholar B is right

3.Instruction in Taoism is traditionally based on a relationship between teacher and pupil, not simply book learning

4.Tying in with point 1, most Taoist works are not translated to English at all and even the ones that are usually are poorly translates or translated but not explained well

5.Modern China is a post-Mao intellectually dead weight shithole

If you want to sort it all out you're going to have to learn the hard way, on your own. There is no proper "beginners guide to Taoism".
