I echo Simonds. Get that comic book...it's a great help.
Also, join NASO and subscribe to Referee magazine. You don't only learn rules, mechanics, but you read articles that help you understand advantage / disadvantage, philosophy, articles dealing with coaches, communications with other officials, and it goes on and on.
Additionally, there are oodles of publications advertised in that magazine and are written by veteran officials. If you're thinking of working high school ball for example, I spent $35 (and well spent I might add) for the mechanics for 4 and 5 officials manual written by Jerry Grunska, et al. That book covers quite a bit of material and was incredibly helpful to me.
The best of luck!!!
