Dan asks “if you could never buy any books again, which ones would you wish you had or if you could only own 10 books post apocalypse which would they be?”
These are my picks:
The Old King James Bible by God
Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
Gardening When it Counts by Steve Solomon
The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon
Plutarch’s Lives by Plutarch
Fruits of Warm Climates by Julia Morton
Storey’s Basic Country Skills
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Complete Works by Francis Schaeffer
Byzantium (3 Volume set) by John Julius Norwich
You can have greener thumbs by this weekend!

Thanks for your work on helping people grow food! You are inspiring…much good vibes to you!
Jane Austen’s P&P? really? Don’t take this wrong, I love JA. I should have known by the way you use the English language that you were an Austen fan. It simply surprised me.
She was brilliant.
Being slightly addicted to books, I don’t know how I could pick just 10. (T.T)
