Homesteading Book List

I’ve been interested in Homesteading for a while now, and the house we just bought is on .4 acres of land, with most of it level and facing south – a perfect place to garden! This is a list of books in my collection, and books I want in my collection. I will update this as I find more books I want. Suggestions welcome, with an eye towards Permaculture, Mid-Atlantic, Climate Change, and Urban Gardening.
