Rabbits
Backyard Rabbit Farming – Ann Williams – Prism Press (UK) 1977 ISBN 0 904727 56 4 – Written for the UK but there is not much out there on home grown rabbits and this one isn’t bad.
Commercial Rabbit Meat Production – John Portsmouth – Saiga Publishing Ltd (UK) 1979 ISBN 0 904 558 31 2 – Obviously based around commercial operations but a lot of information, some transferrable to a backyard situation, some not.
The Integral Urban House – The Farallones Institute – Sierra club books (US) 1979 ISBN0 87156 213 8 Pages 259 to 280 – Detailed instructions on setting up a backyard rabbit meat production system – and a gem of a book all up!
Keeping Poultry and Rabbits on Scraps – Claude Goodchild and Alan Thompson – Penguin Books (UK) 2008 ISBN 978 0 141 03862 9 –This is a facsimile edition of a book originally published in 1941, during the war. While obviously an old book it still has some good ideas for keeping chooks and rabbits in the suburban back yard.
Snails
Taking Stock – Peter Isaak – Jill Norman Ltd (UK) 1981 ISBN 0 906908 41 8 – This book is about keeping animals in the urban, suburban and rural environment it is one of the few books that tackles snails (see pages 144 to 148).
European Peasant cookery – Elisabeth Luard – Bantam Press/Transworld Publishers (UK) 1986 ISBN 0 593 01044 2 – While being mainly about cooking of course, this book does give instructions on the harvesting and treatment of snails as well as how to cook them, see pages 122 to 126. An interesting read.
