The Self-Sufficient Gardener's Bookshelf

These are books that have made a difference in my own gardening and backyard farming.  Some are for reference, some are just delightful reading.  I am including the Amazon.com links for the books so that you have access to a full description and reader reviews. Remember that the prices that show up are the retail (highest) prices so don't forget to check the independent resellers listed with each Amazon book listing, it's the finest sort of recycling and a great budget saver!

And, as a librarian myself, let me stress that many, if not all, of these should be available at your libraries.  

To scroll through my selections, just hold down the right or left arrow.  Standard format listings are below.
