Bibliography
In this section you will find lists of books, magazines, websites, blogs and useful links. It is important to increase your knowledge and having a few books is always a good idea. Here are the ones I recommend for the quality of the information and the relevance of the content. The most up to date French book is Des Poules dans ma cour. Others are from France with indications specific to Europe. Some are available at low prices in Kindle version on Amazon. English books have easy reading levels. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to view book covers that you can easily find on online shopping sites.
