I have posted an on-line version of the rare book Orchids of Mexico
and Guatemala by James Bateman on my website. ...

The book was written in the mid 1800's and the original was limited to
only 125 copies. *A rare reprint was produced in 1973 but the cheapest
one I could find was over $1000!

John (and all the others of course),

1000$ may be the asking price in the US... here in Europe you can find
the reprint for much less :-)
Have a look at http://www.nvva.nl/kok/orchidee.htm , it's only 175
Euro.
