ECHO's librarian talked to many ECHO staff and put together a list of most-recommended books. The list is similar to one that she offers to visitors and conference delegates, and includes books that would be especially valuable for those trying to begin a library in an overseas development office. All of the books listed here are available from the ECHO bookstore.

Amaranth to Zai Holes: Ideas for growing food under difficult conditions

by Laura S. Meitzner and Martin L. Price. This book is a compilation of material from EDN issues 1 through 51. Now, with the publication of issue 100, we are planning to write a sequel based on all that ECHO has written in 27 years.
