I found this book pretty advanced considering the title of "Easy Orchids". As a beginner "indoor orchid gardener" I did not find it to be overly helpful and it's probably more directed to the "intermediate" gardener.

Excellent book about orchids and growing them at home. It is very easy to navigate, gets to the point, and has all of the information needed for the novice orchid grower to do well at home. Most of this book is a giant reference list of orchids and how to grow them well (I think there's about 85 listed).

Beautifully laid out, clear language primer on orchid care. Includes a step-by-step breakdown to the care and keeping of many of easy beginner orchids by species.

A note for people looking to get into orchid growing - this book focuses on orchids which are easy to grow in the home, with tips on location, watering, care and troubleshooting.
