Hi! We have a subreddit wiki page of all the 'required reading' for our disciplines here.
This was my undergrad Forensic Science textbook. It's a nice overview type of book. Libraries or used bookstores tend to have this one. Pretty cheap paperback version.
Crime Scene to Court - Has a UK focus but delves into all fields in fair detail without overloading you, its a good reference manual.
Forensic Science - May be a bit of a hefty one but also covers everything.
Practical Skills in Forensic Science - Probably better for when actually studying but has a lot of the information for being a forensic scientist rather than just knowing forensic science.
I would say those three, as well as those that ayeroger has mentioned will be all you need for an overview of the subject, if you have any specialist fields in mind I have a wide selection of reading material.
There are several journals available like The Journal of Forensic Sciences http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1556-4029, but there are also many open access ones like The Open Forensic Science Journal, Journal of Forensic Research, or The Canadian Society of Forensic Science. The ones that are free would be a good start, because books like Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Crime Lab or Forensic Science: An Introduction to Scientific and Investigative Techniques, Third Edition (Forensic Science: An Introduction to Scientific & Investigative Techniques) will cost you.
