Hi Curtis, I like "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Orchids" Edited by Alec
Pridgeon,
It has over 1100 illustrated species.
Cheers Wendy

I am new to this hobby and would like to purchase a reference book
that would help identfy the basic types of orchids and there likes and
dislikes. Any suggestions?

Curtis
