If you are just starting out, I would save many of the books mentioned for later. Some are just for maniacal collectors anyway!
'Signalling from Mars' is wonderful, as is Ransome's own Autobiography.
The biography by Hugh Brogan is a little more heavy going, but important.
'Racundras First Cruise' is another that would give you more of AR's own writing.
Roger Wardale and Christina Hardyment's books are all good - pick any one from each of them to start with.
Peter Hunt is out of print and not really worth it, I found.
(I have nearly all of these for sale at present, if you want to email me for pics, but you can always use ebay - I didn't intend for this post to be an advert!)
