I am determined to increase my knowledge of landscape history, and would be interested in other people's favorite books on the topic...Anything, just any aspect, any book you really love, would interest me - I am thinking of buying a  $70.00 book written by two architects (Inventing the Garden) sold through the Getty, and don't know if it is worth the money..
