I'm not sure if falconry texts would vary depending on whether you are practicing in the US or UK&I, but my favourite/most useful reference books while learning (and ten years later, I'm always still learning!) are:

Emma Ford - Falconry Art and Practice,

Jemima Parry-Jones - Training Birds of Prey

Jemima Parry-Jones - Falconry

Depending on what you are looking up, each of these books were useful. Ford provides great diagrams and instructions for making one's own equipment, whereas Parry-Jones provides excellent insight on the ethics of treatment and psychology of birds, as well as great blueprints for mews design.

For an absolute beginner, who has never handled a bird, perhaps you would be interested in
James McKay - Practical Falconry
This book gives a really unassuming and friendly introduction to the practice of falconry - with fantastic instructions and images, without swamping the reader in too many confusing details. At usually only about $15.00 on eBay etc, this is usually the book I'd recommend to people in your position.

Enjoy!
