    I won an auction on Ebay for 17 orchid books. I really wanted 8 of them.
    The books are in new condition, except some of the covers have light dust wear from being stored in a box & moved around.

    So, I'm going to sell the others for HALF of the lowest listed price I have seen, plus $5 for inexpensive books or $10 for expensive books.
    I will pay the shipping ( Puerto Rico & Hawaii are OK)
    And donate the $5 or $10 to OI.
    I can take Paypal.

    Phalaenopsis a Monograph – Eric A. Christenson – $40

    Slipper Orchids of Vietnam – Multiple Authors – $50

    2x Vandas – Martin R. Motes – $20 each

    Bulbophyllums and Their Allies – Emly S. Siegerist – $18

    Vandas and Ascocendas – David L. Grove – $20

    From my personal collection, so used, but not written in, or dog eared, just read...

    The Cattleyas and their relatives vol.1 (The Cattleyas) Withner $110

    The Cattleyas and their relatives vol.3 (Schomburgkias, Sophronitis and other S. American genera. $110


    Thanks!

    Karen, I'm interested in the Phal Monograph. Is it the hardback or paperback? (I'm interested either way. I recently bought the paperback, but the printing is defective, and is going back to the bookstore...)

    What books did you get that you're keeping? I LOVE orchid books. I got 5 more for my collection for xmas.

    The Phal. monograph is the original hardback, 2001 Timber Press publication.
    Looks untouched by human hands!
    Tight spine, cover has a crease across the top, but otherwise, new.
    I put your name on it.

    Smartass! Too late, they're taken. You can have one of the Motes books, though; since you grow so many vandas... :D

    Ok, I'll pass on the books. I'll just say, though, that I was gonna give you the books as a late Chrsitamas present, Alexis.
