Here are a few I have found helpful....
Pocket Guide to Macrobiotics, by Carl Ferre. This book contains no recipes; it is strictly macrobiotic philosophy. It is a small volume which is easily read in a short time.
Aveline Kushi's Complete Guide to Macrobiotic Cooking, by Aveline Kushi. This is a recipe book; however, the first few chapters do have some philosophy and also describe the ingredients and tools needed to cook macrobiotically.
Here's one which isn't 100% macrobiotic, but I think it would be a helpful addition to a newbie's library: Cooking the Whole Foods Way, by Christina Pirello. The beginning has a little bit of macrobiotic philosophy, some shopping tips, and a list of the unusual ingredients needed. The rest of the book is recipes. Since you are already vegetarian, this book may be a good choice for you. Just remember that some recipes call for ingredients which true macrobiotic practitioners avoid--tomatos and green peppers, for example.
