There are a number of fine books that cover nearly every aspect of hostas and hosta culture in the home landscape. Listed below are paper and eBooks that might be of interest for those at all levels of expertise.

For the person relatively new to hostas, we must recommend (since we wrote it) the eBook, A Rookie's Guide to Hostas, Hostas, Hostas. It covers all the basic information needed to begin to understand about hostas as a plant, where they come from and the people involved with promoting and propagating them.

Those who are more seriously into hostas should probably own the books by Mark Zilis. His The Hosta Handbook is great for carrying into the garden while the giant tome, The Hostapedia, is too heavy but deserves a prime place on the bookshelf.
