NaCroMo Day 16: Favorite Crochet Books

Heading into the second half of National Crochet Month (NaCroMo), I thought I'd share my favorite crochet reference books. These are the ones I turn to again and again for inspiration, techniques, stitch patterns, motifs, etc., as you can probably tell from all the place markers (and yarn!) hanging from the insides. I recommend them all highly!
