A must get book if you want to know about weeds
This is an excellent book that really describes what the weeds are and what to do about them. Great clear REAL pictures of the weeds so there is'nt confusion with a drawing and what you are looking at in your turfgrass. I highly recomend this book to people in the lawn care and landscaping business. Or if your somebody that really likes to take care of your yard and want's a detailed book on what you see as the "bad" stuff in your grass and beds. I am a lawn care guy myself and love it.

More info than you will ever need
This is a complete book of various lawn weeds. It has good pictures and descriptions. However, upon looking through the book, we realized that the treatment for most weeds is essentially the same. You get a lot of detailed descriptions, weed by weed, and then it tells you to use the same 2 herbicides to kill them (one for broadleaf weeds and one for grass like weeds). So, unless you really want to understand everything about weeds, save yourself the money and just buy the herbicides for lawn weeds from your local lawn and garden center.
