Try to find the Kasselman book, it's very nice. Probably need to search secondhand (http://www.bol.com/nl/c/boeken/christel-kasselmann/1179022/index.html)

This arrived today, it's an awesome book anyways, but for £5.99 its an absolute steal.

Full colour images throughout with short sections on natural habitats, plant production, plant anatomy. And a very comprehensive section on the individual plants themselves - I counted over 150 species and varieties all with pics of emersed and submersed forms; take a peek

The book closes with further short sections on gaining inspiration from nature, floating plants, terrarium plants, and finally aquascaping with some great examples of finished scapes. And as an added bonus, product placement is pretty much non-existent...that is if you don't count the plants themselves

Over all excellent value for money.

I got this book on Hoggie's recommendation - it is as described - great!
