You could start out with a visit to www.padleader.com and read some of the comments from astronauts like Wally Schirra, Scott Carpenter, and Gordon Cooper. Then read a funny little story lifted from the biography of Guenter Wendt. Finally, take a look at the offer of an autographed copy of his memoir, "The Unbroken Chain".

For general purpose reference and reading, I'd suggest "Relics of the Space Race" now in its 3rd edition. I suspect you'll find that most collectors already have a copy. Info on ordering one is available on www.padleader.com as well as here on collectSpace. I've noticed a number of newer collectors online recently. I believe it is the first book they should read before spending one penny on autographs and memorabilia. Absolutely a "must have" in my opinion.
