I just received this book and was WOWED! It has something for everyone - History, Cultivation, Breeding and some bee-u-t-ful pictures.

I've been eying that one too. I'd like to see that review. I'm very deficient in orchid books.

I got it for $16.95 and a couple of bucks for shipping. Brand new in the shrink wrap. If you are interested, I'll PM you the link.

I was thinking I could scan some of the photos...but I don't know about copyright laws on books?

and cookie monster - I would bet we frequent the same p2p networks - I'm a master pirate ;-)

I use this book religiously! I consider it the Cattleya Bible.

I'm happy for ya'll that you're getting it so cheap. I paid full price hot off the press!! I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
