Please recommend a good book for houseplants

I used to have a nice book on houseplants but over the years and many moves, it went missing. So, I'm looking to buy another for both care and identification purposes (therefore should have photos).

RHS encyclopedia of houseplants serves well.

Ortho Complete Guide to House plants, Not as big as the encyclopedia may be but very help full, you can get it at Home Depot.

Re: Please recommend a good book for houseplants

I find the selection of houseplant books on the market today is lousy. My books I have found at used book stores or thrift shops that sell books. I have a few, such as an old Ortho Successful Houseplants and Crocketts Interior Garden.
