I'm looking at getting a few books the question is which ones?

I'm interested in Card College. I've been through Royal Road and can use the sleights there in performance. Which volume of Card College should I start with? I want something that won't be terribly redundant to what I already know.

I'm also interested in either the Fitzkee trilogy or Strong Magic and Scripting Magic. Which should I get first?

I think you should try out Tarbel series.

uh, ok. I didn't exactly ask about Tarbell, but I'll look into it.

Which volume of Card College should I start with?

Volume 1. Each part of Giobbi's books builds on what came before it. There will be some things in there that are a review of Royal Road, but it is worth going over them. Giobbi is very precise with finger positions in the his books. There was some stuff I learned wrong (from Royal Road and DVDs) and had to relearn because it impacted things Giobbi teaches later in the books (thing that seem minor such as where the left thumb is in relation to the outer left corner of the deck in mechanics grip, where the right pinky is related to the outer right edge of the deck in end grip). Also, his tips are amazing.
