That would be most applicable to TC of CP'S?

I want to keep expanding my collection and giving as gifts, exchanges and such. It would be so much fun !

There are a few out there worth owning and I know that some other people don't like this one as much as I do, but I think I've used this book as a reference more than any other books I have:
Plants From Test Tubes

There isn't one geared specifically toward CPs. The tissue culture FAQ that renesis started and that Jun and I (and possibly others) have added a bit to is a very good resource.

Let me know how it is. I've not heard anything about that one. If it's any good I might order it, but it's near the high end of my price range.

Will, do !

The nice thing is, is that if I decide that TC isn't my cup of Tea, then there's alot of stuff that can be used elsewhere, so it won't be gathering dust.
