Ameen,
If you want print sources, I would advise the Baker's New Testament Commentary (available for under $100 and possibly the most economical single source of fairly recent Reformed commentaries; also available electronically for as low as $59 for the free e-sword) or the CBD deal on Calvin's Institutes PLUS his 22 volumes of commentary for $119.99.

I think that when it comes to Hermeneutics, the following book is very much worth reading.

Goldsworthy is excellent, a presuppositional approach to hermeneutics.

Biblical Hermeneutics by Milton Terry is a classic treatment.
For a shorter treatment, try D.A Carson

I think that everyone from pastor to new convert should have a set of Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible. It has been around for many generations of those who are looking for both explanation and application of the text.

A small book that may be a good "primer" is Principles of Biblical Interpretation, Berkhof. Around 200 pages.
That Terry book looks real good...now I gotta spend more $$$ on books. Wait, I love books. LOL

This is a readable classic text that was helpful to me in my earlier years.

The Hermeneutical Spiral is a good book on hermeneutics, particularly oriented towards preaching.
Living by the Book was (in my opinion) a waste of time and money.

Hands down, Goldsworthy is one of the best from a presuppositional and evangelical Reformed perspective.
Along with that I would mention Dennis Johnson's great recent work on preaching Him We Proclaim, as it also considers the issue of hermeneutics at length as it applies to the work of interpreting the Scriptures in sermon prep.
