    I am planning on expanding my library of orchid books. Could you guys name books that you have/ have read that you would recommend as worth having in a collection. It doesn't matter if I already own it or not, but this way any other person looking for this type of information will have it readily.

    Thanks

    The Hawkes Encyclopaedia is the one orchid book I wouldn't be without.
    Hillerman's Cultivated Angraeciods, Orchids Travel by Air by the Mulders, is a great armchair series of orchid safari's. Out of print, but I see something different every time I look at it!
