That's the name of the book I'm reading right now. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to propagation. This book is excellent, by Ken Druse. Over 220 pages (13 chapters) covering every type of propagation method from seed sowing, to cuttings of every type (Including leaves), Air and ground layering, grafting, division. Even a nice (informative) blurb on spores. What I found especially useful is the conditioning section (stratifying...heat,cold, freeze) of specific types of seeds to ensure the best germination. I've checked this out from my library, but this will be added to my wish list for sure! You may want to check it out!
