I've not heard of any particular new books coming out in this sector. 
The water gardening retail trade has had a tough few years in Europe, 
and this may have dented commercial development of new books and 
products.

At the large GLEE trade show in the UK last autumn, the hot new water 
garden product was a new type of pond vacuum that had the motor fixed 
in the submersible section near the suction head, rather than in a 
separate canister outside the pool. Models are due into retailers 
this spring from both Blagdon/Interpet and Hozelock.

Beyond that, one of the biggest selling products in the last couple 
of years has been a new biological treatment for string algae, sold 
in the UK as 'Blanket Answer'. It has proved to be streets ahead of 
the competition, and has none of the unwanted side effects of the 
strong herbicide treatments. Not sure if it has found its way to 
North America yet.
