DOC-CANADA said:In no particular order;
Priimitive Wilderness Living and Survival Skills, John and Geri McPherson
Survival Skills of Native California, Paul Campbell
Woodsmoke, Richard Jamison
Primitive Technology - A Book of Earth Skills, Society of Primitive Technology
The Tracker, Tom Brown Jr.
As far as The Tracker goes, there is a lot of controversy about Tom Brown Jr., but if not for this book, I, and thousands of others, would never have started along this path, so for that reason, I had to include it in my list.
As far as the 2 Bushcrafts (Graves and Kochanski), I definitely would have included them, but as they were already mentioned, I thought I would throw a couple of new ones into the mix.
Abbe mentions the swedish army survival handbook. I'm still waiting for him to translate it for us. Also I agree with him re: "The Winter Wilderness Companion" and "Winter Wise". Both are good books.
BTW, Abbe, I met Garret and Alexandra Conover at a Winter Camping Conference, here in Ontario, Canada. Both very nice people, and, of course, very knowledgable.
Hope you bought the books as they are great.

so, which one would you suggest,
- wildwood wisdom
- camping and woodcraft//Horace Kephart
- woodcraft//Nessmuk
- The Book of Woodcraft and Indian Lore//Ernest Thompson Seton (does anyone know about this one?)
- ray mears...(which book is best?)
or do you know a better way to start reading about bushcraft...
