New reloader - what is the best reloading manual? Or are they getting obsolete too fast?

I have quite a few reloading manuals . Any time I see one at a flea market or garage sale I buy it,even if I already have a copy.
The vintage ones feature the classic powders like Unique and Bullseye. But often they are using projectiles no longer available.
My two favorite manuals are "Modern Reloading" by Richard Lee and "Lyman" 49th .Mr. Lee writes in an engaging manner that is almost like having your own gun mentor right there with you. I really like the way he thinks(rip)
I like to have an actual physical paper manual right there next to my bench so that if I become confused or I think I know something that I don't I can check right now before I have a chance to make a mistake

These can be collector items.
Saw an article a few years ago where the tester used load data from some verrry old manual and used the closest modern correlate with surprisingly good results. Just FYI

But if using Hornady bullets, their manual will be an asset. It is not online.

Haven't gotten most recent Hornady book yet but I noticed they are not up on BRs. I like the information in the back of the book: cross over shell holders, appx. # rounds per pound given load, etc. Good book to have in the collection.
