Customer Reviews

Alan Dunn fan!
I'm a great Alan Dunn fan, as his books never disappoint. Not only is he a great demonstrator, his books (this one is no exception) provide superb step-by-step instructions with great illustrations. Whether I'm looking for inspiration on design, or how-to instructions, I turn to one of two authors - Alan Dunn is one of them. I like the way he structures his books logically. This one covers the subject of orchids, and it's the logical place to look if you want to know how to construct just about any variety you can think of!
