I’ve never had a lot of luck with aquarium plants and I tend to stick with hard landscapes. I still like reading about plants though. This is exactly what it advertises: A quick overview of most of the common plants and how to keep them alive. There’s also some general basic aquarium information that seems to be in every aquarium book.
Worth the money. Though to be fair I did buy this at a library sale.

This book was extremely helpful when I was trying to pick out my plants and diagnosing what was wrong with them when I had issues.

Very useful for getting to know the common and Latin names of a variety of widely available aquarium plants, from beginner to moderate. Pictures and graphics are useful. Some information is out of date.
