The current huge popularity of gardening books (like the Square Foot Gardening book–presently #23 on Amazon.com), is obviously much more than just a seasonal blip. People are clearly getting quite concerned about the economy. So it is just a display of good old-fashioned common sense for folks to revert to self-sufficiency mode. I’m glad to see this happen. Two other popular books that are riding this wave of popularity are: Gardening When It Counts by Steve Solomon, and The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery
