Great Intro to Making a System
This is the best book I've found as far as actual plans and instructions on making simple basic hydroponic systems. It does not go into detail about feeding and light requirements for specific plants, but I found it valuable for the detailed system plans and instructions on building them, which I had not been able to find elsewhere.

Very Thorough
Being a complete newbie to growing vegetables indoors, I found this book to be extremely helpful. I had purchased two other books on hydroponics and wish I had read this one first. It covered everything that the other two books did plus more. I love the fact that it gives plans on how to build your own system as well recipes for everything you will need as far as making your own organic fertilizer and regulating the water PH. The only thing that it was lacking on was more information on the latest LED lighting but that came after the publication date so a few Google searches supplemented that.

Great book to start out with
If your looking to start out with Hydroponics, this is a great book for it. It takes you though the first time start up person to an experience person. The only bad thing I didn't like was the pictures are in black and white.

Great Book
I am so glad my husband ordered this, now we have learned how time-consuming & expensive it becomes to eat clean ! Really good produce, but a tomato might cost $10. Very nice publication, however.

How To Hydroponics
My Dad loved this book, and so did my brother who happened to be visiting when the book arrived. I purchased this for my dad. One of my brothers built him the stand etc, but did not supply any directions as to how to plant and care for them. My dad loved the book

The pictures IN the book are of Very Low Quality, NOT WORTH THE MONEY
The info in the book is good. However the 100 or so pictures in the book are 1 black and white. 2 Very fuzzy, like the print quality was of no importance to the Publisher. The picture I included is of the best from the book.
