For all you living off the land types out there, have you come across a book/manual that you thought was really valuable? Like, you enjoyed it but also refered back to it as a reference multiple times? I would appreciate any recommendations.

When I bought my first 10 acres, I was determined to have an orchard. I ran across a book called The Apple Grower: A Guide for the Organic Orchardist by Michael Phillips. At first I thought it was a bit rambling, but it ended up being pretty useful for me as a total newbie.

As a young adult I probably enjoyed these two books (manual's) more than is normal, I still keep copies around:

Where There Is No Doctor

Where There Is No Dentist
