The Penang Bookshelf is happy to announce recent instructions to dispose of a large selection of books about Orchidaceae, Orchids, one of the two largest families  of flowering plants.

Most of the books listed below will be of interest to the Asian orchid enthusiast, although some are appropriate for those interested in orchids in general.

The majority of the books are in fine or near fine condition. In other words the look like new.
