Title: Great book-2nd edition even better
Product review: This book is a classic in the field as evidenced by the long waiting list for used copies at McQuerry Books until the second edition came out in 1998 (I just placed an order for one from the American Orchid Society as it wasn't listed here). I would gladly buy a copy of the first edition if available.The first edition is an invaluable tool for orchid growers interested in the cultural requirements and ecology of these beautiful plants. The second edition is even better. I rate the second edition over the books of Lance Birk, Catherine Cash and Guido Braem for both the casual pap grower as well as expert growers.The diatribe by the anonymous 'Reader from New York' is totally unwarranted (sounds as thought it was written by a minion of Guido Braem, whose disagreements with Crib are well known in orchid curcles).
