Books on growing a vegetable garden

I am pondering placing a few pots on my terrace (the rooftop of my building, actually) in order to grow some vegetables (beans, potatoes, carrots, squashes, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, some herbs, etc).

As a starter, I found worth reading this crash course on Container Vegetable Gardening from the University of Maryland.

These are some dead-tree books that look interesting (if you've read any of them, or know some other good books, please add a comment):
  • The Vegetable Gardener's Bible by Edward C. Smith
  • Bountiful Container by Rose Marie Nichols McGee & Maggie Stuckey
  • The New Organic Grower by Eliot Coleman
  • All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew (Author)
  • You Grow Girl by Gayla Trail
  • The Complete Vegetable & Herb Gardener by Karan Davis Cutler (et al.)
  • Seed to Seed by Suzanne Ashworth & Kent Whealy
