The none recommendations

I find it is quite a good guide for a some things, my version is the vegetable expert from 1985. A lot is out of date: the chemicals you can use, the varieties available, but the planting distances, expected yield, when to sow/plantout and some of the problems with crops are usually a good starting point. The layout is clear and concise. I usually go through it in late winter to make a list of seeds for the coming year then see what I've got and order.I like Robert Milne's boot 'Organic Veg. Growing' but is is not as easy to use, more to read and think about.
