I do have some books, plenty of survival and SAS books. I am mainly trying to build a collection of Collins Gem books i have the basics so far i do plan on getting more so it looks like a miniature library for a dwarf.

*SAS guide
*First Aid
*Alternative Remedies
*Disaster Survival
*Food for free

They are small and easy to carry, no point having a library of books you may have to leave them behind i can fit all mine in one bag :D

I think I will update my library shortly with some DIY books and stuff like this. Maybe print out some manuals what I found on the net.

That's very mature at your age ELM! Couldn't agree more that books are important. I have a kindle and ebooks as well but the only reason is that the kindle was almost free (got it for vouchers for testing products) and there are around 1 million free books on kindle. If I buy anything it's paper.

That's right. Good book!

I will try and find 'Lucifer's Hammer' and buy it, it sounds good.

I got it through Amazon for a penny. Pretty battered, but I think it is out of print, hence used.
