My old favourite is D G Hessayon's House Plant Expert, its a bit dog eared now, needs updating!

Just a note to check second hand stores for the books or even AMAZON. I recently bought the Houseplant Encyclopedia for 8 cents and $4 shipping. Book was in brand new condition.

The House Plant Expert is hard to find. I have found the House Plant Expert 2 on Amazon but not the first one. Let me know if you come across it, I would like to have that one.

I think the second one is the same as the first but with newer plants, its an improvement. If you have the second theres no point having the first really!

I have been looking on Amazon but wasnt sure which ones are the best. I will let you know Tiff.
thanks

Do you have paperback or hardcover?

Me? Paperback. I wasnt aware there was a hardback edition.
I had lots more plant boojs but they got left behind when i moved. I have a little Hamlyn C&S book and just scored two C&S books for free on bookmooch.

Yes they come in hardcover. I dont care for small paperbacks so I was wondering Is it like a magazine size or a small paperback?

Polly, all the DG Hessayon books are large magazine size paperbacks over here, never seen one in hardback. But yea theyre a decent size.

Ok thanks Larry.
