Greetings. My first instinct was to present this as a poll. However, I wanted to inspire discussion no matter how brief. This is more of a "desert island" question. Based on being well written, professionally edited and scientifically up-to-date, which one book would you select from your library. Well, from these five:
Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes
The Cannabis Grow Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing Marijuana for Recreational and Medical Use by Greg Green
Cannabis Cultivation: A Complete Grower's Guide by Mel
Marijuana Grower's Handbook: Your Complete Guide for Medical and Personal Marijuana Cultivation by Ed Rosenthal
Grow Great Marijuana: An Uncomplicated Guide to Growing the World's Finest Cannabis by Logan Edwards

I appreciate your time.

People, thank you for taking the time to reply. Cervantes and Rosenthal are the two authors that respondents have mentioned. Does anyone have criticism of their books, their writing style or more importantly, the information the present.

I know that Rosenthal has been publishing since 1992 which can be a blessing and a curse: a blessing if he's kept up with the latest technology since he's lived the history. I've read on another forum that Cervantes book is perhaps more conversational and a better read, but included little outside of what was in the (new) Rosenthal book. Are those reading the Cervantes book enjoying it?

Regarding books, are there any other diamonds in the rough out there?

Again, thanks for everyone's time.

i personally find that ed's writings in high times seems not to be of the best information i dont know how his book is but just based on his high times writing i would avoid him altogether, just a personal opinion

DarthD3vl, thanks for your opinions. It seems to slowly be growing into a consensus that the Cervantes book is, perhaps, better for a grower with some education under his or her belt. It's been a long time for me (solar-spectrum fluorescent bulbs for those of a certain age and memory) so the last thing I need is flat out wrong information. I'm likely to take it on faith.

Do the others agree that the quality of the info is of a higher level in Cervantes' work?
