Blimey, you aught to start a library :D

I've not got many of what would be called "Survival" books by the Guns, Beans, and Bunker Brigade...but a few that I have that would be useful in a survival situation are:

SAS Survival Handbook (the big one and 2 Collins Gems)
Bushcraft - Ray mears
The Home Herbalist
Ladybird book of knots (hey, we all got to start somewhere :D )
A guide to Knots
The New Complete Guide to Self Sufficiency
The Essential Allotment Guide - John Harrison
Food for Free (The big one and a Collins Gem)
Various First Aid books
Do it Yourself 12v Solar Power
The Vegetable and Herb Expert
The Fruit Expert
Trees - Collins Gem
Animals, Tracks, Trails & Signs

And a few hundred (probably an exaggeration...but maybe not) PDF's and E-Books on the Laptop and EBook Reader

I don't really have by way of survival books as that's not my thing. We've lots of books all over our house and rather than create a list, here's a pic showing the kitchen book shelves with its mix of prepping/self-sufficiency books:
