I have a small garden and I like to try lots of new stuff each year so Pinetree Garden Seeds works great for me because they sell seeds in small cheap packets which allows me to experiment in an affordable way. Their customer service has always been good to me too.

The Omnivore's Dilemma
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

I read this book this winter and it gave me the kick in the bum I needed to replace some perennial beds with more vegetables this spring and to get laying hens. We live on a 10th of an acre in the city so our space is very limited but we're trying to utilize what we have as well as we can.
