New to reloading, best Manual or Guide?

[AAShooter]

Not many of these in Norcal?

I see two classes listed:

Livermore 3/12/2011
Livermore 5/14/2011

I believe J&R Sporting Supply in Livermore has a 4-hour class going tomorrow.

The lyman manual hands down as the first.

[LGB Loader]

My Uncle Joe's Lymans' 45th edition is what I started with when I first learned how to handload 357 Mag (my first caliber) but the Lyman's 46th (my first handloading manual I bought) taught me how to handload everything else. It holds special sentimental value to me and I have still have it. I have bought every new edition since. I would like this for my first if I started over. I also like the Sierra & Hornady but I have others as well in various editions. Call me kooky, call me wacky

For quick reference, I like to reach for Hogdon's Annual manual.
