I like the Sunset garden books.
My only complaint is that they don't use USDA zones, they have their own.
BUT it's easy to find your zone.
I wrote mine in the front of my book.
It's a GREAT reference book for plants by name. AND has sections for specific conditions without too much wordiness. I hate a book that rehashes so much of what I already know that I get bored looking for the nuggets I don't already know.
