This book has tons of useful information. No fancy words for confusion's sake, stuff you can use right now.
Beautiful pictures, plants divided per pruning group, planting situation, flowertime and area of climates.
Highly recommended!
The author himself has bred many excellent clematis you should know about.

This book provided information on how to better cultivate the clematis I already have as well as cultivars that might work well in given situations in the future. I had two of Raymond Evison's Patio series in pots on my deck, and both had done very well in terms of flowering this spring but then had died back once the heat came on. I found that this is possibly the result of being in too-small pots, so I have bought some larger, self-watering pots to transplant them into once conditions are right. The book is beatifully produced and the information is very helpful.
