At my local library, I found (left to right) Growing Gourmet & Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets, Integrated Forest Gardening by Wayne Weiseman, Daniel Halsey and Bryce Ruddock, and Edible Forest Gardens by Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got an Amazon Wish List full of permaculture books.  I frequently have more books than I can read, but I eventually get around to the important ones.  Anyway, this starts to put a hurt on the wallet, and I’ve recently found a genius way around it.  The public library!  Doh!  Why didn’t I think of this sooner.  The library in my town is connected with a few other nearby libraries, and they have a bunch of books on permaculture, mycology, and gardening.  They even have some documentaries that I’ve wanted to see, like Dirt!  I encourage you to get yo’self a library card, and invest that book money into your permaculture work!
