I love books so I have a tendency to overbuy. I bought 8 since I started exploring this new hobby. A lot depends on what you'll be reloading and your goals. My objectives have evolved since I first started.

If money is scarce I would buy two books
1. The ABC of Reloading - it is a good overview and general info
2. Sierra's Rifle & Handgun Reloading Data - it is like a bible. The more and closer you read it the more you get out of it.

Don't forget videos. My current favorite is "AGI 321 - Handloading for the Long Range Shooter" . Be careful of YouTube Ultimate Reloader, its there to sell stuff, the problem is not in what they tell you, but in what they don't.

The best way would be for you to find someone that reloads near you and start asking for advice. Since I'm interested in long range, I'm hanging around the guys that shoot long range. What they know is incredible.
