Community Building Book Recommendations?
I was watching one of the office hours videos on YouTube and near the end, Courtland offered to send community-building book recommendations to one of the participants. I was wondering if Courtland could share those here and if anyone else has some great community-building books to share as well.

Here are a few good ones, some new, some classics:

https://www.amazon.com/Buzzing-Communities-Bigger-Better-Active/dp/0988359901 (I think he's working on an updated version of this)
