@dagmar_merrill: No problem. :)
There are two volumes of Marvel Masterworks: Ant-Man/Giant-Man, but they're a little expensive as they're hardback and out of print, however, volume 1 has just recently come out in paperback, so it's at a reasonable price at the moment. It collects his earliest stories as Ant-Man and Giant-Man from Tales To Astonish, including his first appearance in #27, and the first half of his run from #35-52. Wasp is introduced about halfway through this too.
Ultron Unlimited is pretty good, and partly focuses on Hanks connection to Ultron. It's available as its' own TPB, Avengers: Ultron Unlimited, or as part of Avengers Assemble #2 - Volume Two, along with a few other issues of that series, or if you're in the U.K., I think you can still currently get a copy for £1.99 in many newsagents, as it's the first issue in a new Marvel graphic novel partwork.
Avengers Legends: Avengers Forever is a time travel based adventure through the Marvel universe based around a team of 7 Avengers, two of which are Hank, from different points in his life, plus Wasp. It's a good story, but it may be better for someone with some experience with The Avengers, as it references quite a few things. However, the TPB I have has some sections explaining what is being referenced and gives issue numbers, so you can go and get the stories yourself if you're interested.
There are some good Hank moments in Avengers: West Coast Avengers - Family Ties and Avengers: West Coast Avengers - Lost in Space-Time, showing him and Ultron trying to be a closer father and son, and dealing with one of his lowest points of depression, but the focus is more on other characters. West Coast Avengers/Avengers West Coast is a good series though, so if you're also interested in Scarlet Witch, Vision, Wonder Man and Tigra, it's probably worth a look.
He had a 30 page one-shot retelling him and Wasps origin story in Avengers Origins: Ant-Man & The Wasp, which was included in Avengers Origins #1 - Avengers Origins and Avengers: Mythos. It's a good story, as are the others in the Origins TPB.
I'll come back if I think of any more. :)
