It's probably an oversimplification, but there several major varieties of how-to gardening books. We carry then all at Destination: Books.
First, there are the Getting Started kind of books.
These are introductory in nature to help you get you get started depending on your available space. We even have a cheat sheet (shown below) to make it easier for browsers to distinguish between our offerings.
Secondly, there are the Deep Dives on a specific fruit or vegetable.
These offerings go into details about specific fruits or vegetables like beans, pawpaws, tomatoes, and okra. We pride ourselves of having the best selection of pawpaw books in the Southeast. (One time we even attended an impromptu sales training at a Botanical Gardens seminar.)
Thirdly, there are the "Take It Up a Level" books.
Gardening is all about growth isn't it? These are the type of books that challenge the gardener to master the finer points of gardening by selecting proper combinations of plants to attract pollinators and good bugs, or by combinimg plants that complement each other. Examples include two gorgeous, colorful books from Jessica Wallser shown at the top. Another book Vertical Landscaping by Amy Andrychowicz literally is about taking gardens up a level. She covers everything from plant selection to building to simple structures.
Just something to consider if you stop at our next pop-up bookstall, this Saturday morning, April 1, 2023 at the Freedom Farmers Market at the Carter Center in Atlanta. We may have a reduced inventory because the threat of weather, but we will have these books on hand. Even if they are housed in plastic tubs, our trained and hospitable staff will be there to guide you.
