There has been a surprising number of books published in which garlic plays an important if not the central theme. These titles range from the expected cookbooks, to works on horticulture, medicine, history, and folklore of garlic. As our library grows, we will continue to add new titles.

 But we also need your help! We expect that visitors to the site will have a wide range of backgrounds in many professions and jobs. If you know of additional books that deal with certain aspects of garlic, please feel free to contribute them to this list . (Check out our Garlic Books if you want to purchase books on garlic.)

For books you think should be added to the garlic library, please include (if known):

Technical articles that deal with garlic can be found in The Garlic Bibliography. Also, there are many articles on garlic appearing almost daily in newspapers and magazines. We at TGS can't possibly track them all. We, and your fellow visitors, would appreciate any contributions you care to make via mail (Yucca Ridge Farm, 46050 Weld County Road 13, Ft. Collins, CO 80524) or fax (970-482-8627) or e-mail.
