A lot of oversimplification and a few mistakes. Rinker is the best introduction for the layperson (although it has a few trivial mistakes as well) and McCoy is the bible (there is an errata sheet to correct the errors), but is only for those with post-grad mathematical chops.
The ballistic coefficient is a value assigned to a bullet representing it's ability to travel through air.
It is used in various ballistics formulas to predict it's exterior ballistics. (How it travels to targets.)
This book is available at most book stores and online, and is excellent for the layman, and technical person, alike.
Edit: Oh yeah, the bigger the number, the more efficiently it travels. (Resists wind, and maintains velocity.)
