The first one I grab is usually Lyman 50. For historic comparison, Lyman going back to #46.
Online I use Hodgdon or Alliant.
For wildcats, Google and any scrap of info I find.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
I haven't bought an actual hard copy manual in years. All the companies have their current information readily available online
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
I agree with Trooper, up to date load data is available free on www.
But somebody new at the game needs the book(s) for the process, not the big numbers.
Too many beginners are trying to learn how one question at a time on the internet instead of studying a manual.
They should get the manual published by the maker of their press.

I have the lee manual but tend to go to the manufacturer web site for starting loads.

I have multiple manuals from several bullet and powder manufacturers. I also like “Pet Loads” by Ken Waters via Wolfe Publishing. I see Midway has it as a soft bound book. I have my Grandpas edition that came in a binder and was periodically updated.
Hogdon, Speer, Lyman, and Lee are all by my press station. Being able to cross-reference load data in case of an error is a critical bit of safety info for me.
I didn't see it mentioned but Speer has a bunch of data available online.

In terms of dead tree editions, I have an older Lyman manual and a similar vintage Lyman cast bullet manual. I have an old Lee book as well. I have Ken Waters' Pet Loads.
Otherwise, I get it all online. I'm an experimenter and so much of what I do or want to do isn't explicitly published or was published decades ago and phased out.
Many times, when looking for something somewhat normal, I head to www.reloadammo.com first.
