Plant encyclopedias

And many other similar reviews, all well earned.
American Horticultural Society: A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants
ISBN 0756606160
An incredibly helpful book, and part of a great series of books for all kinds of topics of interest to gardeners.
Sunset Garden Book
Regional and national series published by Sunset:
National Garden Book (1997) ISBN 0376038608
Western Garden Book (2007) ISBN 0376039167
Northeastern Garden Book (2001) ISBN 0376035242
A staple of gardeners in the Western USA, the much more detailed zone information alone makes it invaluable. The plant encyclopedia, and tips on what to plant where are quite helpful. Illustrations in the encyclopedia portion are drawn, rather than photos.
