Useful Books About Xeriscaping and Native Plants: Note--All these books are available through the Boise Public Library!
Landscaping With Native Plants:The top two books are the most useful, because the authors garden in Utah, with a climate closely approximating our own here in Idaho:
Susan Meyer et. al. Landscaping on the New Frontier, Waterwise Design for the Intermountain West, Utah State University Press, 2009.
Wendy Mee, et. al., Waterwise, Native Plants for Intermountain Landscapes, Utah State University Press, 2003.
The following book is about xeriscaping in general, but has a strong emphasis on native plants. However, the text is most definitely aimed at gardening in the Denver climate, which is significantly different from our own. So take some of his attitudes and suggestions with a grain of salt!
