Alles auf Deutsch?

Yes in German, but it includes so many pictures that it is also interesting. On the other side it is no problem too translate it with your mobile. Here some pictures from the first volume.
I sold also books in America and Canada and I think that the Paphiopedilum-friends liked it.

google translate on your phone... it was worth getting the resource, even with the little bit of effort required to leverage the text...

Pictures are always attractive, but it would be even more attractive if it has a version that most people in global understand what the book is saying and describing, at least to me!

I didn't mean it as expecting Olaf to make an English-language version, more that I consider it a personal failing. But, learning a second language requires one to speak it, and I don't really like talking to people in my  own language!

It is really hard to find a publisher who will publish such a comprehensive work. It is even harder to find a good translator and a publisher who will produce and distribute such a book in the US.
With my book on the genus Phragmipedium, which is now almost sold out in its second edition, I have seen that it has sold well in the USA, but also in South Africa, Taiwan, South America and Japan regardless of the German language.
So I also sold my Paphiopedilum book beside Germany also to USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, China, Italy, France, etc. in other words, to many countries where German is not spoken. But of course I have also found, as with my new Phalaenopsis book, that it is easier to sell English-language books in the USA.
So I will bring again books with me when I have the next possibility for a lecture in USA, perhaps again in Apopka.

look forward to that... somehow it's way more fun to accept the book from your hands after watching you autograph it...

wasn't thinking you were pushing any agenda... ;-) (sorry if that somehow came across)

merely pointing out to folks that might think the printed word in german makes the content completely inaccessible, that the google translate app bridges that gap...

and for me, clinched the decision to extend my hard copy library...

Then let us see in Apopka!
