Left C on the aquaticplantcentral.com forum posted this great list of recommended plant books. Left C said I could repost it here. Does anyone have any of these? Did you like them? I am also posting this over on the Book Club Blog.

Nature Aquarium World Volume 1 (Natural Aquarium World) (Hardcover) by Takashi Amano

A Barry James book was my first plant book. It's little but it sure helped me to get started.

http://www.amazon.com/Fishkeepers-Gu...6324425&sr=1-1
There's many small paperback books published by Barrons that have good info and they are fairly cheap.
I saw this one listed at the AGA site but I haven't looked at it. It look's good.
The Aquarium Plant Handbook
New from Oriental Aquarium, this 185-page full color book is more than double the size of Oriental's two previous "catalogue" books, features new photographs and text descriptions of most aquarium plants, and an introduction by Takashi Amano. A great value for a reference book!

love this plant list and all your posts. You have a great writing style and your posts are very informative and interesting. I am a little disappointed with Aquariphiles and have a blog on Fishchannel.com which is okay but limited. Thus, after seeing your blog I was inspired to create a new blog on Blogspot. Well, I'm off to read more of your blog.
Thanks
Thanks for the compliments:) Aquariphiles has potential, but its not really there yet. Hopefully some day it will be, as it would be a great resource to talk with and meet other hobbyists. I love writing, and love the aquarium keeping hobby, so I put them together:)
