- Looks very thorough and up to date. We should probably all read this!

- Building a Rural Wireless Mesh Network - A DIY guide to planning and building a Freifunk based mesh network - published 2007
- Exactly what it says in the title. Very step-by-step and not very technical.

- A set of technical articles compiled into a book.
- Looks like it has some interesting chapters, like "Trends and Challenges for Quality of Service and Quality of Experience for Wireless Mesh Networks" and "Secure Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks".
- How To Accelerate Your Internet - published 2006
- Sounds like a scam but it's actually not. Look at the table of contents.
