Field Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, and Rushes of the Northern United States
from Dover Publications
Price: $4.95

Customer Review:

The book is perhaps of historical interest and contains some adequate illustrations that may help you recoginize some genera. It is, however, fairly useless for identification to the species level.

Grasses: An Identification Guide (Sponsored by the Roger Tory Peterson Institute)
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

This is a very very poor field guide. The line drawings are totally inadequate and usually only show a small portion of the plant. Habit, for example, is almost never illustrated, while the drawings of the inflorescences are generally not detailed enough to help with identification save for the most... more info

The Encyclopedia of Grasses for Livable Landscapes
from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $37.77

Customer Review:

This is an awesome book. I own another of Rick Darke's grass books, the Timber Press pocket guide, which is also excellent as an overall reference. This one, though, goes in to a depth I didn't know I needed until I saw it! I find I am reading every page, after having skimmed every beautiful photo.... more info

How To Identify Grasses: And Grasslike Plants
from Swallow Press
Price: $11.95

Customer Review:

With this book, you will know all about how to identify a grass, and not be able to identify a single one. It reminds me of the new husband who sits on the edge of the bed and tells his new wife how wonderful it is going to be, but never gets around to it.
I returned the book.

Grasses: Versatile Partners for Uncommon Garden Design
from Storey Publishing, LLC
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:

This book is full of great photos of grasses in gardens, and I find it inspirational. It shows grasses mixed with other common perennials in situations most gardeners could replicate in their own gardens. The author includes growing tips and site preferences for many different species.

Hardy Bamboos: Taming the Dragon
from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:

I find this book to be the most entertaining and informative book for the bamboo hobbyist available with respect to cooler climate species. Paul breaks each species down for the reader from a VERY experienced but non-scientific perspective. He gives you a personal insight into each plant that will... more info

The Book of Bamboo: A Comprehensive Guide to This Remarkable Plant, Its Uses, and Its History
from Sierra Club Books
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

This is a comprehensive treatise written with passion, and reminds me of "The Whole Earth Catalog" of the '60's, Mother Earth News, and various underground comics. Done in the best tradition of the good ole days. If you find info that is not in this book, you can write it on a sticky note and attach... more info

Grasses of the Texas Hill Country: A Field Guide (Louise Lindsey Merrick Natural Environment Series)
from Texas A&M University Press
Price: $15.64

Customer Review:

I am very pleased with this book. The photographs make identification of the grasses
much easier in most cases. For the lay person wanting just to become familiar with the common grasses of the hill country it is the best I have found.

Manual of the Grasses of the United States Volume 2
from Dover Publications
Price: $15.26

Customer Review:

As a botany student any publication by Hitchcock is the best. Only comment is that there is additional vital data in the second volume which I was not aware of until I was in the throws of identifying some grasses!! That being said Vol 2 is on my wish list. - It is a very nice supplement to Flora of... more info
