Re: favorite shade garden book

Mine is one by Alan Patterson, a past Director of RBG in Hamilton, Ont.
Of course it is presently packed in a box in alaska so am not too sure
of the title.  Think it is just called 'Shade Gardens'.

The ones that I already have are Schmid's 'The Genus Hosta',  Aden's 'The Hosta Book', and Schenk's 'The Complete Shade Gardener'.  Although not specifically related to shade, I also have Rodale's 'Illustrated Encyclopedia of Perennials' and Cresson's 'American Flower Garden'.  At this point, I 'm not interested in another hosta specific book and might want to get a more general shade book.  A specific book that I'm considering is 'American Horticultural Society's A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants' but it is kind of pricey.  If anyone has this book, can you let me know what you think of it?  All comments are welcomed.
