Northeast Home Landscaping, 3rd Edition by Roger Holmes
Good pictures and planting diagrams with plant lists that include both common and botanical names, there are a lot of ideas here. Some of them are a bit dated, such as their juniper recommendations, but others are a little more out of the box, such as the use of summersweet (clethra) and Koren spice viburnum, a wonderful but under-used plant. Lots of good plans for beginners and more experienced gardeners, both.
