What is a good beginner shotshell reloader book?

I have been looking and the New Lyman might fit the bill but don't know for sure.

I use the Lyman Books (Editions 3 and 4). The books are informative and list well tested loads. The load selection is somewhat limited by time and cost constraints.

So, I also check the powder comopany listings for the brand powder(s) I am using. I primarily use Alliant Powders for shotshell reloading, and find their online reloading information to be quite comprehensive for their own brand of powder.

No shotshell loading book is as comprehensive as Lyman. It is the gold standard.
