More than a Woodlot, by Stephen Long
OK, so the bear is a little cheesy, but I promise this is the best book on woodland management for a forest landowner. From navigating taxes to evaluating what types of forest stands you have on your property, this is an invaluable resource. Heck, you can borrow my copy.
