No, but I did have it out of the library for so long when I was younger that they sent me a letter asking me not to renew it again, but to return it.
I assume it's the same book, was actually called "Bushcraft" and if I remember correctly was a sort of purple colour.

That's a hard poll, Ray got me back into the outdoors, Loftys the daddy and Mors's book is excellent......
Bit of a hard one Tomtom, Mors and Graves' books together are all you will ever need IMO - but Ray has readen more books than both put together and so is probably more read.
haha i wondered weather or not to give multipul choices.. but thought i would make you choose!! 
then i realised i wasnt sure who mine was and had much the same toss up as tony.. ray introduced me to it all or at least put a name one it for me but i get most knolage and enjoyment from Mors.. (but i still have some to read)

A really responsible library user then? Not something I'd boast about.

A tough one indeed!
I voted for Ray, because his books are what got me started on this new way of living and thinking. I have books by most of those listed, particular favourites being Kephart, Kochanski & Nesmuk, but all have something to offer. Although I'm not sure I forgive Lofty for bringing Lenny Henry back from the Amazon):

I like swedish authors like Lars Fält, Harry Sepp and Stefan Källman and Lars Monsen is also a very good author but his books are not that much bushcraft but still very good.
I like the books by these authors mostly because they write about bushcraft here in the nordic countries.
A pretty fun thing is that if you read Lars Fält books and RM ands Mors you can see pictures that are identical. It might be that there once was club called "International Network of Civilian Master Survival Instructors" and I think both Mors and Lars was members there (I think Lars started it, but are not sure) so they have probably learned a lot from each other.

I couldn't decide so ended up tossing a coin. I'd have added good 'ol Brummie Stokes.
Although none of these guys got me into 'bushcraft', being a country lad, then serving, and then getting told about this place by Womble. I got my books either out of interest or because they had a good rep on here.
Until about 8 months ago I'd only heard of Brummie, Lofty and RM and hadn't read anything they'd done and only started watching 'Lost in the Woods' by chance and the same with RM.

I've only heard rumours of a book, but knowing what he was liek in 'Lost in the woods' it'd be a good read...I even had trouble trying to find details of his school...
Not that I'd be voting for it but arguably Baden Powell's "Scouting for Boys" has a place in the history of these things. I know that there are at least two or three more books by contemporaries, even predecessors of "nessmuk" Sears that should be in the list but I'm not well read enough to remember their names.
