      Plant Lover's Guide to Sedums is good.
      If you Search Books on Succulents you get a good selection. Not read any of them other than the first one though.

          Its ok, you dont really need to post in that section, but maybe a Admin will move it for you.
          I dont actually have any specific succulent books and none impressive.
          Most cover Cacti as well.
          I've got a fairly reasonable collection of Echiveria, and a some others.
