If you could recommend one into to Nuclear & Particle Physics book, what would it be? I looked in the textbook section, though there are no reviews of the books so I don't know which one would be best. I'm a college student, I'd LOVE to get all of them, but I can't :-/.

Any suggestions?

What kind of insight are you looking for? Do you want a technical book or something that present the most striking facts without too many computations?

A good library should have some of them, so you can check which book you prefer.
