what books to stock in case everthing goes to crap

Check this small but tactical selection.

Religious books. Bibles, Korans, etc. Every version.

Keep them in good condition, keep them safe. They'll be in high demand and worth far more than their weight in supplies.

I would suggest getting books that pertain to things around you and give useful skills and information. Here are the subjects i suggest weather, anatomy, animals, plants, oceans, automotive repair, gardening, farming, health, first aid, home repair, natural remedies survival hope this helps.

Well after scouring these threads for info I finally got the SAS survival guide.. think that's a good one. Also have an Army manual with some decent info and a good home medical book. After that it's hard to tell. Will you be bugging out? Thats probably all you'll have room for but if you're staying at home as is most likely especially if you live in a small to medium sized town I would also suggest as much as you can get your hands on.

Ditch Medicine - Advanced Procedures For Emergencies

This thing rocks. It will teach you about debridement, suturing, and even fun stuff like how to use granular sugar to keep infection away after surgery if you don't have antibiotics.
