Your book list sounds interesting reading. Nice to see Geoff Hamilton being mentioned regularly so far, I think that reflects the esteem he was held in

Not to my face, Pa Snip, but probably plenty of times behind my back....

Not specifically a gardening book, but in the days of my youth I enjoyed John Seymour's Self Sufficiency book because I had this daydream of a plot of land and living the Good Life. With a husband who loathes gardening though, it never advanced beyond the daydream, and to be honest, I don't think in real life I would ever have been able even to bring myself to wring a chicken's neck !
So I stick to growing vegetables and pacify my conscience by only buying free range eggs!

Primrose. Many moons ago I went to their open day. Looked like a tip.

Now I feel MUCH better about my unfulfilled daydream
That's probably how mine would have ended up!

Any books by Lawrence D Hills, A G L Hellyer or W E Shewell-Cooper.
If I had to choose one book it would be :-
