Summary: The Best Book On Gardening
Comment: I you only buy one book on gardening, this is the one to buy. I refer to this book constantly. Sometimes I will even write down the names of plants I am interested in, and look them up, before deciding to buy them. This book is a great resource!

Summary: The Bible!!
Comment: This book has everything about plants. I had an earlier edition (1977) and thought it would be good to update. A very useful tool for gardeners.

Summary: Best ever Sunset Western Garden Book issue
Comment: I have relied on Sunset's Western Garden Book, in its various issues, for many years. From time to time, about every 3-4 years or so, they re-publish it. This particular issue has become my favorite "Working Bible" and I keep one copy in the house for reference and another in my garden/yard supply area. I bought this copy to give to my daughter and her husband, to introduce them to gardening in the Northwest, and to reduce the number of times I have to answer her questions by phone. Now I can simply refer her to the appropriate page of her own "Sunset Garden Book".
The two or three recent re-issues of Sunset's Western Garden Book have become more "posh" and sophisticated, like coffee-table issues, not meant for nitty-gritty work in the yard.
The particular volume I bought on Amazon was in incredibly perfect condition; my guess is that the original owner had never even opened it (it was inscribed as a Christmas gift from his parents!) And the price was amazing.
