The absolute essential is RB1980 (Rule of St Benedict):
Paperback 664 pages (August 1986)
Publisher: Liturgical Press,U.S.
Language: Latin, English
ISBN: 0814612202
(Essential because it has the Latin.)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814612202/qid%3D1129735492/202
-1997913-4243035#product-details
It has a rather modern orientation, of course (and there's an
English-only
version - presumably without any useful commentary - at a tenth of the
price:
