At the top of my site, under the TraceMyPreps banner, it reads ‘Home’ (which is the page you are currently on), ‘About Trace’, and ‘Check Here…”. Hopefully you’ve looked at those pages. Today I’m adding a new page: ‘My Reading List’.
While I know there are many, many good books out there, including many more we need to get; my list is the books we currently have in our library. Feel free to suggest additional books in either the comments section or on the TraceMyPreps FB Page.
So, without further ado:

(Wednesday 1/17/12: no post, site blacked-out in support of the SOPA protest)
I’d recommend adding these to your list of books. The Edible plants one is for Easter US, but I’m sure there’s a Western version as well. I just couldn’t locate it.
A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and central North America (Peterson Field Guide)
A Field Guide to Western Medicinal Plants and Herbs
Great idea. That also helps with one of our goals to “Learn to identify local wild plants.”
