A good textbook would be Alpine Climbing: Techniques to Take You Higher by Cosley & Houston. It's targeted to that middle ground between pitching out a climb and going without any protection. (I'd also suggest understanding the basics of technical climbing as a pre-req, such as the climbing and anchoring books by John Long.)

If I personally wanted to protect a summer scramble, the specifics would depend on the route but I'd be thinking harness, helmet, 30-40 m half or single rope, a few 'biners, some sewn slings, and a few stoppers and small cams. (Everything listed after the rope would likely remain unused except for specific cases e.g. a rappel.)
