From: Gerardo xxxx.gob.mx Subject: Hello from Mexico Date sent: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 You have a great site. Can you give me some advice in where can I get the book Phapiopedilum Growers Manual (Birk, 1982) and some related commercial site so i can buy some paphios. I have a collction in Mexico of some 200 and i think is the largest paph. collection in mexico. I want to promote them. Have a nice day.

Hi Gerardo thanks for your comments etc. To purchase Birk's book, I suggest you contact Mary Noble McQuerry McQuerry Orchid Books 5700 W Salerno Road, Jcksonville Fl 32244-2354 USA mcquerry@aol.com I have found her good to deal with and if she does not have new copies often she has good second hand ones For commercial paph sites I suggest you check some of the web directories or obtain the Orchid Digest or AOS magazine and check the adverts there. There are plenty of suppliers, but I have not had contact with any as we cannot easily import plants into this country
