HoBow:
I though a single thread discussing books would be a good idea.  If someone has a good book they would recommend on any subject (i.e. bow making, knife making, cooking, gardening, leather working, etc), they could list it and why they like it.   So who's reading what?  I'll list a few  ;)

HoBow:
Leather working-

"Lacing & Stitching for Leathercraft- 10 differing lacing and stitching techniques."  This book shows you how to do the basics, it is easy to understand, and will help add some nice finishing touches on projects.

"Leathercraft Tools by Al Stohlman- For the beginner (me) it shows the different tool options, how to use them, and how to sharpen them.

HoBow:
Book on trees-

National Wildlife Federation- Field Guide to Trees of North America-  One of the best books on identifying trees I've seen.  It has colored pictures of the bark, leaves, and general region of the trees.  Organized by leaf type to help you narrow down your search.

HoBow:
Mushrooms

"The New Guide to Mushrooms" by Peter Jordan.  Great pictures and shows dangerous lookalikes....a lot of good information.

HoBow:
Knifemaking-

Blades Guide to making knives by Joe Kertzman-

Custom Knifemaking by Tim McCreight- has 10 really neat projects in it and does a good job at explaining them
