This is an excellent book and should be in the home of any orchid enthusiast that enjoys species. There are over 1200 species listed with color photos. This helps make identification much easier.
Since I have had my book for only a few days it is still in excellent condition but others I know who have purchased this title have had a problem with the paper cover coming loose. Also, some of their pages have seperated. Hopefully the quality of this one will be better but even if not then I would purchase it again.

While the contents are very informative and extensive the quality of the book itself is far less than expected. I had been using it for less than two weeks when the cover started detaching from the core. Now it is in such a condition that is nearly unmanagable without constant extra carefulness not normally associated with a well made book.
