As a start, I’d suggest something like this. A big book of heaps of different stitches can be super useful to have around.
I really like stitch dictionaries ... here's a fav...

I use the following book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1454701374/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1404777448&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
I prefer chart patterns and this book has both, plus I can customize all the patterns easily
I use Crochet Stitch Dictionary all the time. It has a lot of what I consider pretty basic stitches but they take me through 90% of my projects.
I also check out Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs fairly often from the library. It has more lacier, complicated stuff.
"A to Z crochet" is good for a all around crochet book, as well as "Crochet" by DK.
I also own Edie Eckmans books, Crochet Motifs, Crochet Borders and the crochet shape one that I can't recall the name of. They are handy references for ideas.
I would also check your library for books of whatever type of thing you want to create patterns for, be it clothing, amigurumi, blankets, etc. You will get some great ideas from others but more importantly you will start learning the syntax that those particular patterns are written in.
Really, just go check out every crochet book from your library
And the library from the next town over.
