Re: The Sheehans's --Orchid Genera Illustrated
I had a copy of 'Ochid Genera Illustrated', by Tom and Marion Sheehan. Dr,
Sheehan was our society's guest speaker in August 199, so I took my copy to
the meeting to ask for an autograph. Guess what? Both were at the meeting
and both gladly signed my copy.
So, what's a signed copy worth? (No bidding please, I'm keeping it for
myself.)
Good Growing to all,
Chris

Definitely.

Re: The Sheehans's --Orchid Genera Illustrated
I already had a copy of 'Orchid Genera Illustrated', by Tom & Marion Sheehan
in August 1991, when they were guest speakers at our Society meeting. I took
it to the meeting and asked them to autograph my copy which they gladly did.
So, what's a signed copy worth? ( No bidding please, I'm keeping it, thank
you.)
Good growing,
Chris

Awesome find! I've had my eye on this book for years and wasn't ready to
plunk down $100 for it.
There are some other botanical gems offered as well - search for "timber
press" and all kinds of goodies pop up. I got one of the Rhododendron
species books for $15 in addition to the Sheehan's book - will probably get
the other two rhody books in a little while.

Re: The Sheehans's --Orchid Genera Illustrated
Timber Press used to have a half-price page for books going out of print, I
don't see it now. That's where I got my copy. For $20 this book is a
bargain. I like being able to see the distribution for a genus without
having to look up the locations of every little country.
