“Third Tier” List of Recommended Specialty Books
These books are ones I think are important to own and keep in your preparedness library. They all are recommended specialty books, but they are lower on the list than the first couple sets of recommendations.
Some of these books are more expensive than those in the second and first tiers, others are more technical, and some are supplemental texts that cover the same subjects in different ways.
For whatever reason, I don’t find these books as essential as those on the first two lists, even though I bought some of them first….
