      Great list. I would add the Foxfire series, consisting of 12 main books, and numerous related books. They are must haves.

      Permaculture books will be worth their weight in rhodium. If we are to venture forth into tomorrow with dignity, we can not use the old cruddy designs that got us here in the first place. Most of the homestead books are outdated now in the face of Permaculture. Which basically collects the best design principles from around the world and doesn’t care how ‘grandpa’ did it. Intentionally DESIGNED (vide: well thought out) landscapes will be de rigeur in the coming times.
