I already have a list of books I plan on recommending for this project, but I figured I'd throw the question to my readers as well. I know a fair number of people who read me have already done the smart thing and ransacked their local used book stores for old appropriate-tech books from back in the day. What are the out of print titles that you found useful, inspiring, exciting? What books on energy conservation, green living, small-scale gardening, and related topics do you think people need to have handy right now, and in the years immediately ahead?

Energy conservation (insulation, weatherizing, non-electric ways of doing things)
Homescale energy production (sun, wind, water, you name it)
Organic gardening
Small-scale hydroponics
Backyard animal raising
Practical handicrafts
Solar greenhouses
Skills for living cheaply
Ecological thinking
But of course there's much more and I'm open to stretching the boundaries at least a little.
So there you are. We've got an opportunity -- help me make the most of it.
