  The last listed book 'The Manual of Seed Saving' Andrea Heistinger is not US (the one listed is the translation into English). It is written in collaboration with Arche Noah and Pro Specie Rara, which are the Austrian and Swiss Heritage Seed Libraries respectively.
  The original title of this book is:
  Handbuch Samengärtnerei. Sorten erhalten. Vielfalt vermehren. Gemüse genießen
