Question

Kore, Kono, Koko
I am a little confused....

Kore wa hon desu
kono hon desu
Hon wa koko desu

Do these mean same thing?..... Here is a book?

I think I may be missing some information on the usage.

Answer

I have learned that kore is 'this' so the first line is 'this is a book'.  Kono is always used before the known item. So kono hon. 
Eg
Kore wa Nan desu ka? - what is this?
Kono hon wa Nan desu ka? - what is this book?
Koko is 'here'. 
Think of them as:
Kore,  sore, are, as this, that, that over there. 
Koko, solo,asoko,  as here, there and that place over there.
