Premium AD&D 2nd Edition Handbooks on Amazon
The following books are available:
With the 5th edition just released, i would rather suggest you looking into it, as the edition is actually a combination of the old 2nd edition, a bit of 3.5 and 4th edition. Which ends up having a nostalgic feeling and is easy to handle. So far, you won't be dissapointed imho.
I don't know which retroclone is closer to AD&D 2nd, but you can just buy the original one.
They are available in the deluxe reprint on Amazon:
You can also just search Amazon for AD&D 2nd, and there's still lots of old and less-old stuff you can find.

The first is 1st ed, the second 2nd ed.
OSRIC is a pretty good free and legal recreation of the 1e ADnD rules. It will at least help you learn the ropes. There are other retro-clones of 2e specifically, but I don't know any specifics about them. Also, WOTC has recently reprinted many of the old 2e books.
