The 'Bible' is Rebecca Northen's book 'Home Orchid Growing' and should be
available from one of the used book vendors at Amazon.com.

I would like to purchase a gift of a book for a new orchid fan. He is
beginning to grow orchids on his own and is quite smart so lots of
information, in addition to pictures, would be great. Also, does
anyone have any experience with the Orchid-of-the-month club? I'd like
to look into that as a gift as well. Thanks - Neil
