The Classic Cattleyas
Another in the long line of fine horticulture books from this publisher. Everything about this book simply screams, 'Read me.' While the main focus of the book is on the species, Chadwick also discusses the early days of cattleya hybridizing, giving a wonderfully accurate picture of how we arrived at the dizzying breadth and range of colors now seen. -- Ned Nash Orchids 20060501  While the title may seem like this book is only for cattleya growers, it really tells the story of the discovery of tropical orchids by western civilization. Every orchid hobbyist should have a copy even if they do not grow cattleyas. -- Courtney T. Hackney Orchid Digest 20060701  Comprehensive, a pleasure to handle and read ... I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in these handsome plants. -- Isobyl la Croix Orchid Review 20061101
