I got a good old book from that big online auction site(not going to mention them by name ;D)

The Master Backwoodsman by Bradford Angier.  Published in the '70s sometime. It is an interesting read.

Bushcraft, by Robert Graves.  Excellent book on the subject, best of all you can get them used pretty cheap.

An old boy scout field manual is mighty helpful.  I don't know about the new ones, mine dates from the late 50's.
