Audio Books on CD - This will be a place for books on CD that Patricia and I have read, and will pass on to the next avid reader for a pittance of their actual cost.  Having a whole shelf of these doesn’t seem really practical to me.  So we are offering them here

1. The Brazilian Biofliate Cattleyas and Their Color Varieties by Jack Fowlie Used $135.00. I say used because the outside of the book is weathered a tiny bit with a small (1/2") stain on the front, but gold lettering intact and not worn. Inside the book is perfect. There are 21 paintings of the Cattleya species by Rosalie Roth that are probably worth more than the book if framed. Published by Azul Quinct.  Press in 1977 this book is already considered an "antique" I think. 11 3/8 x 14 1/4, hard bound.

2. All About Orchids - $20.00 - Charles Marden Fitch, 1981 - 276 pages, 200 photos, 22 in full color. (This copy is autographed by Charles and has his personal seal.) Lots of insight from an excellent grower and photographer of orchids. . Book is almost brand new, the cover shows a tad of wear but the book has none.

3. Carniverous Plants, by the Adrian Slack - 240 pages -8 1/2 x 10 5/8, lots of color and brand new! You can find out like I did what carniverous might grow with the orchids you raise. Brand New

4. Carniverous Plants of the World $20 - by the Pietropaoloes, 206 pages, 8 3/4 x 11 3/4, more good info on these interesting plants. Brand New

5. Angels and Demons, - $25 - abridged audio 5 CD's., by Dan Brown Whoops?! Not orchid info to say the least. But these are audio books, brand new, well, listened to once! This is a set of CD's you can listen to while driving, that's usually the way Pat and I listen to them.

6. The DaVinci Code, - $25 - abridged audio 6 CD's, by Dan Brown - Following Angels and Demons another interesting blockbuster. I like the Angels and Demons best but I guess Hollywood didn't. Besides, more people to offend with that one I bet, it's a doozy!! Again, this is a box of CD's listened to only once. Interesting story as you well know by now.

8. Eragon, $25.00 - unabridged audio CD's by Christopher Paolini, $25.00 14 CD's, listened to once. A great new world for you. The first in the adventures of Aragon, Dragon Rider.

9. Eldest, $25.00 - unabridged audio CD's by Christopher Paolini, (20) CD's to be exact. You'll love every minute of this fantasy... This is the continuing saga of Aragon and he grows and battles the bad guys. Great adventure on the scale of Lord of the Rings, I'm an old geeser but I enjoyed it as much, maybe more than Harry Potter, good escapism. Start with Eragon first or you miss part of the story.
