What's the best book on Grafting? Particularly grafting fruit trees.

I'm looking to give to a friend and was wondering, what is the best book on grafting?

Honesty...I think YouTube is the best teacher for grafting. (at least for visual people like me.)

I only have one book, and it covers multiple means of propagation. It’s by: The American Horticultural Society “Plant Propagation.” I’ve found it to be pretty useful.

I have that book as well. It's pretty good. I agree though that videos or in person demonstrations are the best way to learn to graft. That and a lot of practice.

Heres a link to buy a carambola grafting DVD: http://www.quisqualis.com/CarambolaGraft.html

CRFG also made a grafting DVD a few years ago. I am not sure if it's still available though.

The best book may be a DVD the Orange County Chapter of CRFG created called "Techniques of Grafting".

I too use and recommend YouTube for grafting.
