I had the pleasure of receiving the Orchistudium CDs, they are very, very good indeed.
The ones who can should order it, this is a gorgeous piece that crowns the effort of these three heroes as, here in our country, to publish something, to produce something is very difficult, there is no aid, in fact only with much personal effort.
So far I am starting the reading but feeling already enraptured. Congrats for this work.

The work is magnificent. Both the technical production - navigability, menus, presentation, quality of the texts and the photos, as also regarding what that really interests us - the orchids itself, the work is very good. The thing begins with the cover - the choice of that gorgeous Oncidium hookeri sample shows that the work is not only for the ones who like to buy a brilliant Phalaenopsis in the supermarket and to place it it on the living room table. At last: already I started liking.
Running the first CD on my computer I went straight to the plant that was object of my desires during recent debates on Yahoo group - Anathallis obovata - and there she was, in fantastic and comprehensive photos. I felt like I shooted the photos myself and had chosen those particular ones, such was the pleasure browsing the material.
Excellent also the CD with the Individual Works. There, for obvious reasons, I chosed to start with the Baptistonia lietzeii and I also became bewitched. The presentation and content are skillfully conducted, despite the circumstance that several of the plants examined there are some of my favourites ones.
I really liked very much, and I am browsing the CDs for only some half hours. I am sure much more enchantment is to come, that is certain. Not only in these two first compact discs, but in all future works of the Orchidstudium.
I want to sincerely congratulate you for the work presented in the two CDs of the Orchidstudium and to transmit votes of permanent success also.
