Without a doubt, I would search Ebay or local library, of course
I know that my local library has tons of gardening books!
If you're in Salt Lake, try the Green Building Center, you can also go on-line - Rodal press has a great selection - but their books would be at any book store.
Any good bookstore will have a gardening section. I consider any gardening books published by Rodale Press to be excellent sources of accurate information. You may also want to subscribe to National Gardening or Organic Gardening magazines. You'll learn a lot from a one-year subscription.
They have some good ones (such as by Sunset Press, Rodale Press, and Better Homes and Gardens) just inside the front entrance to hardware giants like Lowe's and Home Depot. There is one by Ortho for water gardening that I just love! I bought it at either a Borders, Barnes and Nobel or Walden Books. Just look for the Gardening section, find an easy chair, and you'll be there for awhile. Too, sometimes the bigger nurseries send out colorful booklets in the Spring to their former customers or the ones on their mailing list. Perhaps you can pick up one of these. They're great for quick identification of various plants plus info as to individual sun/shade requirements, height and spread, price, etc.
