nonfiction; gardening/diy. Step-by-step info on collecting, storing, and sowing/planting your own seeds for a great variety of different edible veggies, herbs, and decorative flowers. Doesn't include fruits or perhaps all of the veggies that you might possibly be interested in, but it's a good volume to get a beginner started (and probably also to keep on hand in future seasons to come).
