If cost is no factor, Blooming Bromeliads, Baensch

I agree, Baensch's book. I think it's out of print now, but it's still just about the best single reference there is-- not too technical but not too dumbed-down either. Lots of information on both species and hybrids, and lots of good quality color photos.

I was able to find the spanish version with the english translation. The translation is done very well, a separate book the same size as the main book.

Baensch's is great and for species alone I'm kinda partial to Olivia-Esteves' books, volumes 1 and 3.
