Best books for a Beginning Reloader

The one thing I'd add to the excellent recommendations so far is a subscription to Handloader magazine.

All of the manuals from the top bullet suppliers are very good, (although redundant), my Lyman books for shotgun, rifle, and handgun recipes are quite good, can't go wrong there. Pet loads is an essential, but not really for beginners, Lee lacks the specifics to be more than an general reference for someone starting out.

Handloader fills in the blanks, of which there are several, the down side is it's an accumulation of information that covers decades of trends and new products. My reference collection includes multiple generations of the above manuals, but my Handloader collection swamps them all in sheer volume of information.
