I'm not an electrician. Ortho's Guide is legendary for helping someone as stupid as me to do minor work around the house.
Should I have to pay an electrician to swap out a bad power outlet? No, I don't think so.

That said, there is SO MUCH useful information. This book is sadly out of print. If you own a home, BUY THIS.

As an amateur orchid grower (and a florist and garden center employee), this book is awesome! It breaks down the basics on how to water, re-pot, gauge light and temperature for and how to divide orchids. So far everything I have learned about orchids, I have learned on the job and by reading material on the internet. This book helps clarify all the muck I have read online. I am tempted to buy a second copy to keep at work to help customers in taking care of their future orchid purchases. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best for the new orchid lover.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2013

This is the best book about raising orchids for a beginner that I have found. It covers all the basics and a bit more well documented with pictures that clearly set out instructions. I stumbled upon this book when I first started raising orchids and now keep an extra one on hand to give to a person that wants to learn how to keep an orchid alive and blooming. There are many good books available on raising orchids but this one is supreme for the new orchid lover.

I'm so glad I got this book. I bought several others first but they didn't help at all. They were too basic or too complicated. Then I remembered how good the Ortho books were. I have one on roses, one on ferns, one on fruit trees and one on succulents. This is a gem! It tells me all I need to know (for an casual hobby grower). Found out what my problem was and how to fix it. Great book!

This reads like a middle of the road book, and they took that route writing this book. Not enough "hard core" electrical information. This is more like an idea book.

I've been loving and working with orchids for quite a while. When my sister recently took an interest in orchid care, I purchased this book for here (since it was difficult to get back the same book i loaned her!)
