It's got everything.
What exactly do you mean by "local 600 manual"? Longtime 600 member here and I've never heard of such a thing. There is a member directory, the constitution & bylaws, and a membership booklet - none of which tell you anything about how to actually do the job of an AC.
I agree with the usefulness of Hart's and Elkins' books, but I've far more often heard "The Professional Cameraman's Handbook" by Sylvia and Verne Carlson referred to as "the bible" - although it's now sadly out of date as far as specific camera models are concerned.
I wish I knew where to point you other than to Kodak's website at the moment. Most of the best handouts I ever got during film school were these cryptic old packets that I wouldn't even know how to share with you practically. Personally, I'd look into taking a photography class that requires you to shoot on 35mm. That's pretty much how most people start, and what tends to get you hooked.
Some books worth looking into would be The Professional Cameraman's Handbook and The ASC Manual are both good resources, but namely deal more with cameras than the film itself. I'm going to leave this here, but I imagine you've already done this much.
