I got the Grenfells/Shadrack "Color Encylopedia of Hostas" from the library and decided that it was fun too look at but that I didn't need to buy it. Recently, while googling around, I found that Google has a books page. I was able to browse through the entire book online!
When I Googled "Color Encyclopedia Hostas" I got search results showing a number of gardening books with "limited preview" status, including the 2002 "Encyclopedia of Perennials" by W. George Schmid.
Nice resource!
