The L&L Worlds Greatest Cups and Balls are well worth getting, volume 1 has Tommy Wonder's supurb Two Cup routine on it and (I think) volume 3 has Bill Malone's routine. Those two are probably my two favourite cups and balls routines.

I heard Ammar's book and DVDs are encyclopedic.
Currently Reading "House of Mystery" (Abbott, Teller), Tarbell, Everything I can on busking

Depends on your intended audience. If you want classic routines, then either the L&L set or Ammar's book would be a good place to start. If you intend to do street shows, Pete Wardell's Crowdpuller would be better.

One of the best ways to see which cups and balls routine is best for you is to look at a bunch of cups and balls routines. Andrew Musgrave has a blog where he dedicated one full month of the cups and balls plot. There are a number of great routines here and you're sure to find one that presentationally resonates with you.
Good luck in your search.

Probably have most of the books and dvds as mentioned above, but sadly still pants at performing the cup and balls
just doesn't click with my brain. But still keep trying occasionally.
