Here's a list of various planted aquarium books that I put together about a year ago.
Aquarium Plant Books
All these books are very good. I have all of these except the one by Pabloo Teapoot plus many more. I listed these in order starting with the best (IMO) and working down. You can usually find most of these books cheaper at Big Al's, but it will pay to shop around at different places:

FishBookStore.com has a large selection too.

I hope this helps you.

There's many small paperback books published by Barron’s that have good info and they are fairly cheap.

Plants for Your Aquarium by Wolfgang Gula:

I saw this one listed at the AGA site but I haven't looked at it. It looks good.
The Aquarium Plant Handbook
New from Oriental Aquarium, this 185-page full color book is more than double the size of Oriental's two previous "catalog" books, features new photographs and text descriptions of most aquarium plants, and an introduction by Takashi Amano. A great value for a reference book!
