recommend me some books

[john6]

I'm looking for some excellent books about aquarium plants, not the sciencey type ones ( i have Christel Kasselmann original 2003 translated book), more just pictures of lots of plants and basic needs of the plant, where to place, how big it grows etc etc etc.
Any good recommendations? or if anybody has any for sale let me know

There are some beauties but out of print so might cost a fortune (depending)—- local store might have some for viewing?

All of Amano’s books: nature aquarium 1, 2, 3 and also complete collection.

The optimum aquarium is good by Horst and kipper.

Christel’s book is the best for info though.

The best books are about system thinking and not just “plant tunnel vision” … they talk about how to do the whole thing.

I have the 2003 translated version so is the new one worth getting?

I believe George Farmer has released a book on Aquascaping

Thanks, I'm more interested in information of the different plants but more in layman terms than scientific.

I can only speak to her recent translation and it’s excellent.

I looked for the second edition to have but forgot to pursue it … speaking of which I may need to check the old internet for a copy …
