Re: Best garden book for small vegetable gardens?

I have to mention a small, slim book I was given as a present and was slow to
open - but found wonderful:  "GOOD COMPANIONS:  A Guide to Gardening with
Plants That Help Each Other", by Bob Flowerdew (yes, real name), a British
"authority" and TV gardening personality (?).   It has in-depth, very
pertinent information about an extensive number of vegetables, fruits and
other useful plants (i.e., nettles, comfrey, etc.), and with the most stunning
watercolour illustrations.  I just love it.

There are so many expensive gardening books out there.  Aside from Mel's

book,  what book would you choose if you could buy just one gardening
book this year?  I'm looking for a book that focuses on vegetable and
herb gardens, but includes enough photographs to keep me motivated.  I
want something that's informative without being dull.   But I also don't

want a Martha Stewart-style coffee-table tome. <

The book that gets my vote is "Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of
Companion Planting" by Louise Riotle. Its shelved next to Mel's book in
my library. The book is even inexpensive, $11 at amazon.com. I bought my
copy at a used book store for much less than that.
