I adore this book. The beginning includes basic orchid care (really for almost any size). The bulk of the book is dedicated to the minis--with awesome photos, cultural tips, and a scale of culture (easy, intermediate, medium to high, etc.). This really helps, so you don't buy an orchid out of your league--or at least you are warned. The most incredible part of this book is the index section. If you are looking for something specific and don't want to have to sift through the whole book, you can just look in the back. The sections are:

Orchids by Size
Orchids by Ease of Culture
Orchids by Light Requirements
Orchids by Temperature Preferences
Fragrant Orchids
Sources for Miniature Orchids
Bibliography
Index of Plant Names

This book will be a treasure to new and experienced orchid growers alike. Hardcover for $29.95 published by Timber Press, 2007.
