I think I know the one - it's sort of tan coloured, thin and on about A5
size paper, isn't it? It's part of the R.H.S. series of books covering
many popular plants and there's even one on Bog Gardens, but I haven't
found it yet. The CP one is fairly good with colour photos throughout.
As you say, it's doesn't really cover any new ground, or go into any
real detail on species etc., but is still OK (and cheap enough to buy
just for the hell of it...)
