23 books to keep on the shelf of your doomsday bunker

If the apocalypse happened tomorrow, what mementos would you try and protect?

Their answers range from practical survival guides to books that inspire post-apocalyptic utopias.

Pick up a copy and stick these in your doomsday bunker - or on your bookshelf for rainy day reading.
