Get yourself a set of manuals. Hornady's second edition and Speer #13 are good. Lymans make a good manual for newbies. You can never have too many manuals.
As for a press, a single stage Rock Chucker is a good press for beginners and experiences loaders. If you want to spend a bit extra, get a Dillon 550B. You won't be disappointed.
Do a search on newbie in this forum and you'll find a wealth of information.
