Here is my ultimate collection of monographs about carnivorous plants from Redfern publisher. From large families, they did not publish only Utricularia (covered by Taylor's monograph) and Philcoxia (recently discovered and largely unknown). Apart from them, there are still no separate books on Catopsis, Roridula, Brocchinia and some borderlands protocarnivorous plants.
The photos are amazing, and though they do not contain exhaustive cultivation guides (except for the Aldrovanda, Cephalotus, and Genlisea books), I found them quite useful as species references and for getting a general picture, along with some interesting facts. For instance, one unexpected claim was that no true Cephalotus cultivars exist, based on recent genetic population studies (intrapopulation differences are negligible) and that differences among them are solely explained by growing conditions.
Given the limited edition, some of them were quite difficult to find
