A few books stand out as practical how-to's in my walls of gardening books. Not theory or ideology, just indispensable. I hit used book stores, thrift stores, but to order online I use only http://www.bookfinder.com . These are the ones I can't do without for market growing. Some are more timely now than ever before.
