of "Grape Varieties and Rootstock Varieties." He discusses vitis
in general, ampelography in general, goes into descriptions of the
various American vitis, some of the American hybrids, many of the
more used French hybrids, and much of the known commercially
available rootstock. It's published (in English) by Collection
Avenir Oenologie in France: http://www.oeno.tm.fr, but you'll
need to be able to at least stumble through some French to
navigate. The English language publications have English
descriptions, but the mechanism for ordering, etc., is pretty
strictly in French. Oh yeah, and then there's the recent
spike in the exchange rate for Euros.

Pierre Galet's books are good for vinifera grapes otherwise there seems to
be little in print ...try the International VITIS Database
