Essential Bookshelf for the Self-Sufficient Life

I am just getting started with my Essential Bookshelf for the Self-Sufficient Life, but the few books that I have are really good ones (IMHO).  These books represent the basics for all of the things that I am interested in learning: gardening, baking bread, canning and cheese making.  I am always on the lookout for new books to add to my tiny collection.  If you have the time, please let me know what books you consider "essential".  Or better still, post a picture of your essential bookshelf (with readable titles, if possible) on your blog. 

Here are some pictures of what's happening on our little piece of land.  Finally, a little less chores and a little more "smelling the roses".

Hope your weather has cooled off as much as ours.  Those 90 degree days came on a little too quickly for my taste.  Next time: Independence Day Challenge update.
