Jun 20, 2011 13:47:22 Fellow gamers, I have a few questions. What's a good book to get started off with (either in the current edition or any other editions you can think of) to get used to the different planes and is just a good overall intro book. Also where might one go to find any of these Planscape manuals? Thank you in advance.

The first boxed set or the planewalkers handbook I think. Both are second edition.
www.planewalker.com would be worth you time also.

Planescape-related material in 4e:

- Manual of the Planes
- The Plane Above
- The Plane Below

Please note however that the cosmology has changed for 4e. While the 4e Manual of the Planes has a sidebar on the Great Wheel, in general the 4e materials assumes a simplified universe. But the books above have 4e rules for many of the cool things in Planescape, and offer description on the various places in the planes such as the Sigil, the Nine Hells, the Abyss or the City of Brass.

As most ad&d planescape stuff is really expensive if you try it on ebay, the best intro to the original planescape apart from planewalker.com and piracy is most likely the old computer game Planescape:Torment.
