Supplemnt Buy Path?

I picked up the APG dirt cheap in an offer I couldn't refuse (60% off)during a store closing. Besides the Core and Bestiary I and II, what things in which order do I want to fully enjoy the PF setting. I already have several early APs, not currently interested in societies.

Can I just come in here and say that I'm incredibly jealous you got such a good deal on the APG? I spent $30 last night ordering a copy off Amazon.

I did order the APG however, to try out the new classes, having played some of the base classes from Core. I'm looking forward to making NPCs from the APG.

If you intend to run games set in Golarion then snag the Inner Sea World Guide. With the other books mentioned in the OP you should be good to go.

Of course there are a lot of awesome books from Paizo and the 3PP's that support them I'd recommend getting but...those aren't "essential"

Given how chock-full of new goodness it has, much like the APG you got that spectacular price for, Ultimate Magic is likely to become essential in the future, IMO. It isn't currently, but that's mainly because it's so new I think- people are still checking it out and seeing what works and what doesn't. Really, though, the fact that it has a new class (the Magus) and Archetypes for every APG class except the Cavalier (they got no Archetypes in the APG itself, of course), it's going to get picked up and used Real Quick.

Ultimate Magic has some serious issues. It's not a bad book, but it's not nearly as good as the APG. There are some really broken spells, as well as copypasted material.
I do not regret picking it up, but I would not recommend it as strongly as I did with the APG.

So I picked up the Core and Bestiary 1, and the wife sounds enthusiastic about trying it out. I've got the first 13 APs to play with, just need to find some players.
