Michelle S. (mswaney) reviewed Cottage Gardens: Instant Reference to More than 250 Plants on + 8 more book reviews
This is a good overview with lots of pictures. I read that whole thing (minus the reference guide) in an afternoon while my husband watched a football game. It's inspiring and perfect if you're looking for examples of, and inpsiration for a cottage garden, but it's quite specific to that. If you're looking for a regular overview gardening book, this isn't really it.
