I have several tomes published by the Americna Horticultural Society. Go
to their website or do a search at Amazon. The books are indeed tomes,
for they are thick. I sometimes use them so I can reach that top shelf
where I keep the hooch.

By the way, they also have an excellent book on propagation.

In the end, the best book will be the one you like. This is all that
matters.

Buy a copy of Exotica on e-bay.

typing in "exotica" brings up all kinds of results, lol, few of which have
anything to do with plants. who is this published by and is there anything
else in the title?

Chaz,
I just bought an Exotica 4 on e-bay for $24.50 - it's not as good as the
Exotica 3 that I bought several years ago on e-bay for $99. Hope you weren't
the person I was bidding against.
The author's name is Graf. They pop up on e-bay every couple of weeks.
Keep checking. Yes there are some funny listings for a search of "exotica".

#3 is a single book, #4 (as I recall) is a 2 book edition. I bought the #4
edition out of curiosity. I use #3 for ID constantly.
