Jul 23, 2012 at 17:13 comment added user5117 aglearner: it's true that Milnor and Stasheff is "only topology", but I still think it can be very useful in understanding vector bundles in algebraic geometry. By the way, I think Shafarevich's book Basic Algebraic Geometry has a pretty down-to-earth discussion of line bundles and vector bundles (and how they relate to sheaves), but maybe you've already seen that too.

Jul 23, 2012 at 15:21 comment added user5117 Sure, there are many places that discuss vector bundles without sheaves. "Characteristic Classes" by Milnor and Stasheff is one excellent book. There's also "Principles of Algebraic Geometry" by Griffiths and Harris.
