Excellent reference for plants in terariums and aquariums. Tons of photos and clear illustrations detailing tank set-up, plant type, care and propagation. I really appreciated the extra details especially geared towards aquarium keepers (such as poisonous to snails, or new growth cuts light for shorter species).

Lots of good info on popular aquarium plants and keeping planted aquariums healthy. Might refer to it again if I some day expand to a 10 gallon tank. Probably wouldn't buy for the home library.

Perfect book for a beginner guide to aquarium plant. However if it could describe the latest EI or ADA method in preparing cycled tank that would be great for the latest edition

This was a great introductory book to aquarium plants! I learned a lot and now am looking forward to designing my own planted tank.

Excellent for beginners. It has large color photos of dozens and dozens of plants in the aquarium plant guide section.
The one thing that I didn't like is that the Aquascaping section only had drawing, not photos. It's hard to get a sense of what the aquarium would really look like from the illustrations.

Good book for beginners. Not a very good reference, but worth owning.
