Book recommendations? - Orchid Board

Does anyone have any book recommendations?

I know Glenn has a couple in Japanese.

I might call Seed-Engei to see if I can get a copy of their catalogue and I'm thinking about contacting Dr. Mulhollan to see if he's still producing his book.

THE NEOFINETIA WEB 富貴蘭

Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
Jim

I have just bought one from Glenn, (Neo flowers 2005 I think) have not received it yet, but when I do, I´ll come back to you.

Hi Jim,

I tried emailing Dr Mullhollan a few times and my email came right back. I was very interested in ordering his book!! If you come right, please let us know!!

Regards,

Hi Jim,

I did purchase from both Seed Engei and NWO. The booklet of Seed Engei is in English version with color pictures of neos. It included the history and the nature of neos too. 38 pages for $20
Also, I had 2 books from Glenn, one is like a neo magazine, it translated neos name in English. 130 pages for $50. The other one I just received it this afternoon, it's like a dictionary of neos but all in Japanese with color pictures. Glenn was really nice, he translated the name in English and attached with the book. It's released on Oct 2008. 314 pages for $50. Hope it can help you.

Thanks all.

I've been e-mailing Glenn and thinking about getting his 2 books.

Kate- How did you get hold of Seed Engei? I was on their website which is very limited and asked for a catalogue or pdf version but have not heard from them.

Cheers.

This book is a must have for all hard core neo fans. Can't read it? Doesn't matter, lots of cool pictures. You'll love it

I guess I must get it then.

When Glenn was in Portland, I should have bought it from him. I remember the pictures of the book were fantastic.
