Does taking the ritual caster feat....

....also give a first level character a ritual book free of charge?

If it does, would there also be provided the characters' choice of first level ritual?

Not officially, no. Officially you'd have to buy a ritual book. Only characters who get ritual casting as a class feature get free ritual books.

Also, taking the Ritual Caster feat does not give you a free first-level ritual. The character would have to buy a book and any rituals he might want.

Cheers for that

Though if you qualify for the Bardic Ritualist multi-class feat it will give you the class feature, which would give you the attendant benefits (spellbook; ability to cast Bardic ritual without components once per day; arcana skill).

But oddly, I think the Learned Spellcaster (the wizard multiclass feat in Arcane Power that gives you ritual casting) doesn't provide the same stuff.
