Many thanks!
These are pretty new-age books, reliant on international trade, just worth a mention if you grow most of your food or only have less "hippy-like" grocery stores.
Bryant Terry for the first two and Krimsey Lilleth for the second.
It's hard to explain what makes them so good, but they're extremely coherent. Many vegan cookbooks have breakfast, lunch, dinner... etc... they pick and choose recipes, one page will be Mexican and the next will be Asian, the next will be Italian... These don't really do that, all the recipes have an identity and stick with it. These books have a coherence rarely found anymore, personality that runs through the books front to back. I think one other book that might be suitable for my rotation is The Korean Vegan but I haven't cooked all of Cajun Vegan yet so I am trying not to add anything.
Vegetable Kingdom classifies its recipes based on the main ingredient relative to the food type, tubers, roots, flowers, etc., and Afro-Vegan pairs each recipe with an entire book recommendation and a song from his culture, all top notch (at least to someone that listens to every type of music there is and a lot of jazz). Krimsey is straight out of Louisiana and had basically the first successful vegan restaurant there before the virus, lots of quirks, tips and tricks from the book.
Every recipe in those three books I feel is important.
