Rather than one book, perhaps a series of the Hessayon Gardening Expert
books, then you can pick and choose which suits your needs.

I second that. They are the books that have been of most use to me (a
fair weather gardening amateur), they are cheap and widely
available.

I think i have the whole range of these - they are fantastic as a useful
reference for the novice or expert in my humble opinion.

That seems to be the overall opinion of everyone who has used these. I
don't think I've ever read or heard a bad word against them.
