This is so funny, I was going to start this exact same thread!
I like the Cervantes book but hate the editing.
Ed Rosenthal's books are so beautifully illustrated that I drool just reading them.
I just ordered BOG's Bonanza of Green and it's pretty basic, super easy, and confirms the intuitive approach to gardening that I swear by.
and the big winner is...
Greg Green's Cannabis Breeder's Bible. It's for geeks. I love it.
