Lee's Modern Reloading is a very good starter book. It contains a lot of the "why and wherefore's" not always present in other manuals. Lots of good basic info and reasonably priced under $20. All the bullet manufacturers also have excellent guides too.
You need at least 3 manuals I would recommend and the Lee would diffidently be a good substitute.
Hornady 3rd edition.
Lyman
Access this manual vbia web site
IMR and HODGON http://www.imrpowder.com/#
Instead of down loading the in tire data for IMR and Hodgon I use this link
http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp
Just what I was thinking
Lyman is very beginner friendly
Ditto Clay, the new Hornady book is pretty good. The important part is to read it thru, whichever one you get, and make sure you're familiar with what you're doing when you start. Welcome to the club. Whistle if we can be of assistance.
I am partial to the 49th ed. Lyman book. It has a lot of 'first timer' info. The Lee book is very good too. I second what 007 said. I have learned a lot from folks on here.
Also, another brainfart, if you are going to load Barnes' bullets get the Barnes manual or use the data online from their website. If you email them, they will give you all the book pages for the caliber requested, just not the whole book online!
All the manuals listed are good, too.
i have a real old lyman manuel its great that or hodgon reloading data .com it useful as well
