The ABC's book is a good one if you are starting in reloading.
It is alot of stories and basic knowledge stuff.
Cartridges of the World is not in the same category as the ABC's as it is a general reference book.
COTW is a handy book to have around, but mainly for the history and use of different cartridges rather than an actual book you can learn reloading from.-Spencer

True - you cannot learn reloading from COTW. BUT, you can pick up some staring load information for some pretty esoteric cartridges from it! It is often the ONLY known source of info for some of the weirder rounds.
