Hi Kathryn and all

The book that I recommend does not fit the type of book that you  
describe, but is instead a reference book.  'Plants for Beekeeping in  
Canada and the northern USA'.  Written By Jane Ramsay and published  
by IBRA (International Bee Research Association).  I bought my copy  
at Apimondia 99 in Vancouver and have used many times over the  
years.  Last year, the librarian of our local bee club tried to find  
a copy but was unsuccessful.  I tried and also failed to find even a  
used copy online.  I found a printer in Victoria BC who had the book  
on digital files.  I promoted the book at the two bee clubs of which  
I am a member and ended up getting 50 copies printed, paying the  
royalty to IBRA, and distributed at cost to those who ordered.
Try ISBN 0-86098-191-6 on the web, maybe you will luck out
