The concepts in Blood Ties by Ted Karesote(sp) and Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold make them perfect for traditional hunters.

One With The Wilderness by Mike Mitten is the best book I've ever read. Gene Wensels books are great to. I cant wait to read Barry's, I bet that one will be a great read also.

The titles listed in the previous posts are all great.  One book I would also highly recommend would be Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac.  The book although not totally bowhunting, is still a must read book.  A couple others that I pick up and read occasionally are Maurice Thompson's Toxophilus in Arcadia  and from 3Rivers  Nostalgic Lore of the Bow by the McKellar Boys.

Timeless Bowhunting by Roy S. Marlow. Great book not strictly traditional but a great read!

Bill Tell

Finding Wounded Deer by John Trout Jr.  It isn't Trad specific but everyone should have a copy of this.

Also the studies done by Dr Ashby.

Ive read everybook suggested here.
Don Thomas books are, hands down ,IMO are the best trad. hunting books ever written.
They are finest expression of the soul and spirit of trad. hunting. They stand on their own as pure literature--- a quality of expression and candor, that can be appreciated by people weather they are initally interested in the subject matter or not. If you could only read one  out of the 100's of trad. archery books,( there are alot of great ones out there) you would serve yourself well to read one of his--Like "Long bow in the North."

This will sound odd but stick with me: "Last of the Breed" by Louis L'Amour.  If you're familiar with L'Amour, you this is not a western.  It's about a Sioux Indian who happens to have excelled as a pilot in the Air Force in the 1980s.  He is captured in Soviet Russia and escapes a prison camp in Siberia.  He uses his woodscraft skills learned as a child and young man to survive and thrive in a very hostile environment.  Check it out.  It's not about traditional archery, but traditional (primative) archery certainly plays a major role in the book.

"To All Things a Season" by Don Thomas is another that is a good one that I haven't seen listed yet.

One of the first "traditonal" books I read was Don Thomas's "Longbows In The Far North" and I must say it is my favorite.

The style is what I prefer in my reading. At this stage I am past books with "hot tips" on "where to find big bucks" and enjoy his writings very much. Somewhat hard to find though.

Lots of good suggestions here. I am going to have a long list for Santa when I go see him at the mall.

Both of Roger Rothhaar`s books are great reads. He is a very nice person. I talk to him a few years ago on the phone. He took time to answer all of my questions. Jay Massey`s books Bowhunting Alk. Wild Rivers and A thousand Campfires are great reads too.
