Great resource

Good information for any gardener wanting to know what plants will thrive in your region. "It is easier to match plants to your soil than it is to modify your entire soil." Includes photographs and description of plants (4 plants per page), including USDA hardiness zone, AHS heat zone info, height, plant type, soil and lighting conditions.

excellent resource

This book changed my view of gardening. USDA go by the number of cold days and many areas have extended high tempuratures instead. I now garden with high soil temps in mind. Not very many plants are rated, but quite a few that are rated for my zone, wont withstand the heat. Saves money.

blah blah

Pull up your socks guys. The book in question has two authors: the Snr author is H. Marc Cathey and the 2nd author is Linda Bellamy. You erroneously indicate that there are 3 authors.
