I’ve made a real effort to attach links to books on just about every page I post here. So many times we get people asking questions about particular things like how to grow something for example or how to make an herbal medicine. I’ve gone to great lengths to attach a link to most of my favorite books on each subject. I even talk about them in some of the articles or about the authors. Some of these people I have met or studied with and some of these books are not well know, but contain invaluable information. I cannot possibly devote enough space to each book, that is why they are linked to Amazon. There you can get more detailed information and if you purchase a book from this link we get some credit to buy more books for the community library here! So it is a win/win for all.
Here are a few must haves!
Take my word for it, YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS. It covers absolutely everything you could possibly imagine and has tons of recipes to boot. The only book I’ve seen better than this was over 100 years old and about 2000 pages. Yes, I own that one too. It is called the Rural Efficiency Guide.
The “bible” when it comes to permaculture. Excellent information that you can really put to work immediately. Lots of drawing and diagrams. Should be a prerequisite to joining a community!
