This review is from: Flora of Jamaica Containing Descriptions of the Flowering Plants Known from the Island: Volume 1. Orchids (Paperback)
If you're looking at this, you probably know that this book is still a very valuable source of information on Jamaican orchids. This is a nice, amazingly inexpensive reprint of this essential work--ever so much cheaper and easier to get than finding one of the originals!The publisher has even taken care to print the captions accompanying the drawings on a separate leaf, rather than on the reverse of the drawings, so that there is no print showing through to mar the illustrations. Overall, a really nice job of reprinting. It would be even nicer if it were available in hardcover. A softcover, perfect bound book won't withstand too much use before it begins to show wear--but one could have it rebound.
