I gave this one four stars, but probably three and one half would be better. This small volume is okay per se, but leaves much to be desired. I found the book to be a good supplemental to others, and that was about it. I do fear that the new grower or want to be grower or collector my be mislead, in that times, the author makes the growing and keeping of orchids sound a little too simple. I have found that growing is certainly not as difficult as some would think (keeping in mind that I am a mere hobbyest), it ism how ever, in reality not all that simple either. I have picked up some good tips from this small volumes, but have found the several dozen other books I have collected on orchids to be quite more necessary that just this one volume. On the other hand, the price of this book (used) is certainly right, and it never hurts to peek at as many works as possible...there is always some useful information lurking here and there.
