Which Book Covers Protea and Leucadendron in Photos?

There are some good books on Protea, to which Leucadendron belongs, but these are pretty expensive books. Does anyone know of a good plant book with a more general coverage that has extensive photographic coverage of Leucadendron?

In general, how fast will Leucadendron's grow? Most references online say it needs a fast-draining soil. If I plant in California native clay soil, but in mounds above the water line, should that be sufficient for drainage?

Some sample Leucadendron photos are below. This video on a Protea garden in Australia also shows the remarkable flowers and diversity of Protea.
