Summary: A Great Book for Both Begainner
Review: This is one of the best orchid encyclopedia i had seen so far! Many species are described, both commonly grown and popular ones to unknowns. The book cover wide range of genus and species esp. with genus with fewer number of species. The only set back is, it didn't cover fully enough on certain family, esp. my favorite ones such as, Dendrobium, Vanda, Renanthera, and Cymbidium as lots of species seen to be missing in the encyclopedia. Never theless, this is a great book and strongly recommanded for everyone; with many reference to the photos.

Review: This large and beautiful volume is aimed at a broad audience, from the
flower lover with a casual interest in orchids to the committed enthusiast
and professional. It encompasses a wide spectrum of orchid genera and over
1,100 species and hybrids commonly in cultivation. The introductory
section guides the reader to a general understanding of orchid habitats,
distribution, classification, hybrids, pollination, cultivation, and
conservation. The heart of the book, an alphabetical "Orchids A-Z" section,
includes descriptions, taxonomy, names and synonyms, geographic
distribution, notes on culture, and hundreds of fabulous color photographs.
