I am selling a set of Paphiopedilum books which I bought preowned from another orchidist a few years ago.
If you are interested in getting them let me know .
I think the older volumes are harder to find, here is the chance for someone to get all the 4 older volumes together.
I love to sell within the USA, since shipping to other countries are too expensive.
Here are the books' condition as far as I can see:
1) Paphiopedilum in Taiwan Anniversary of TPS 1997 , hardcover 120 pages.
-front end paper is not stay glued to front (but still flat to the coverboard)
(book printer probably did not put enough glue at edges , buyer can glue around edges if desire)
-front free end paper has previous owner name on upper right corner
-pages 1 have some spots.
-2 small indentations on back cover
-overall , all pages seem clean
2) Paphiopedilum in Taiwan II , hard cover 1999, 144 pages
-front free end paper has previous owner name on upper right corner
-font & back cover is matte black material ,therefore the color is no longer pristine.
-over all, all pages seem clean
3) Paphiopedilum in Taiwan III , hard cover 2003, 183 pages
-no previous owner name
-overall condition seems clean
4) paphiopedilum in Taiwan IV , hard cover 2006 , 254 pages
-seems to have a band of 1/2 inch lighter color at top both front and back (which I could not figure out why, since color fade should only appears on one face)
-no previous owner name
-overall condition seems clean

I prefer to have all 4 of them going to one place, less work for me to pack and ship.
However , if anyone who want just a particular volume , let me know .
Once each of the volumes has someone wants it, I will consider breaking them apart .
