If you can spare the space for just one book, I recommend the

Hmmm yes, I've been looking at the RHS books on Amazon; they always seem
to get rave reviews.

If you have a Sussex bookshop near you, they have it at a very
reasonable price. (I bought my book a couple of years ago in Enfield
but they seem to be all over the country AFAIK).
