Book Reviews of Orchid in Lore and Legend
Book Review: not for the scholar
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this book. Its wide-ranging accounts of orchids in history was very interesting. The book's one, and serious, flaw is that there are no footnotes. There is a vague bibliography, but standard footnoting would be really appreciated for people who would like to use this as a scholarly reference. As it stands, they can't. A lot of work went into collecting the stories for the book; and it's a shame that that bit of extra detail wasn't included because it would expand its usefulness immeasurably!
