Used Book in Good Condition
If you want to get a good look at the tech aspect, you can check out this handbook:

This is the version I have, but the older ones are basically the same. Lots of techs have one of these books with them on site -- in their locker or on person. They include almost all of the positions/x-rays and it can fit in your pocket.
Another good book is this one:

Rather than a reference book like the other, this one is a good read. It explains how x-rays work and how we can improve our images. Go ahead and skip anything about film, though.
Your program will have specific textbooks and materials for you to follow, so I would recommend that you check with your local library and online resources before committing to purchase any of the following:
