A good beginning book,
I purchased the pdf copy of this book some time ago and found it useful as a good primer for hydroponics. It will give you a basic introduction to the types of growing systems, nutrients, lighting, and all the ins and outs of growing your own plants with hydroponics. If you are a hobbyist just getting started and are interested in getting a small system I would highly recommend this book. However, if you need in depth knowledge about any process involved with hydroponics this is not your resource.
The plans for making your own system were straighforward enough and gave me enough ideas to create my own aeroponic system rather cheaply instead of having to go out and buy an expensive pre-built system. However, I have to say that if you are building your first system I would go with an ebb and flow or bubbler system. The aeroponic system is a lot of fun, but if there is a leak or a hardware failure your plants will die rather quickly.
Good luck!

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.

Concise and to the point!,
Over the past few months, I have bought and read a number of books on the subject of hydroponics. This book is by far the best book on the subject I have read. It is written in a simple and easy to understand manner. Very readable. The plans and instructions for the different types of hydroponic garden apparatus is worth the cost of the book alone.
Absolutely excellent!
