Britain's Orchids

This is the future of field guides . . . I just love this book, I absolutely love it. ---Chris Packham, #WildMorningswithChris This book distinguishes itself in the depth of attention it gives to orchid habitats . . . . The illustrations in the book are quite simply, out of this world superb. . . . This book takes a bold step in a new direction, a leap away from simple listing and describing, to being an efficient and user-friendly tool in the hands of the orchid enthusiast on the quest for accurate identification. ---Paddy Tobin, An Irish Gardener The most startling and richest identification guide I have ever come across. . . . Every single time I pick up this book, I gawp and I learn. Field guide of the year, without question. And quite possibly field guide of the decade too. ---James Lowen, James Lowen Wildlife A clear, comprehensive, well-designed, beautifully illustrated guide to a fascinating group of our wild flowers. ---Mark Avery, Mark Avery blog What I really welcome is the images are brilliant coloured botanical drawings and photos so you get the best of both. A really nice feature is a brief index in a fold of the cover just pointing the species pages. I recommend this very welcome addition to those oft-thumbed works that sit on my desk for easy reference. ---Bo Beolens, Fat Birder This authoritative yet accessible guide is the result of many years' hard work from the authors. The multitude of information loaded into its texts are complimented by top-class illustrations and stunning photography. It is the new essential in its field and congratulations must go to Cole and Waller for producing what deserves to become a best-selling guide to this fascinating family. ---Josh Jones, Birdguides.com
