The Picture Book of grapevine diesease

If you grow grapes, you'll probably want to have a copy of this book. Nice color photographs of grapevine diseases, damage done by pesticides, and injury from climate. While the collection has a large number of pests and diseases covered, there are some issing, such as the grape cane girdler and grape cane gallmaker. The life cycle and discussion of each type of disease is somewhat useful, although most of the technical aspects of the diseases can probably be more appreciated by someone with a better understanding of biology. The book is a bit pricey, and most of the photographs of the diseases can be found on the Internet although it is convenient to have them all in one place.
