 Not a great source of information February 20, 2007
I expected much more out of this book. I bought '101 Essential Tips: Bonsai' at Border's for $5 and got much more pertinent information for my Juniper.
 Lifeless as a dead tree. July 2, 2004

Photos are uninspiring, if not misleading. All the trees pictured resemble twigs thrown between undefined rocks with no thought to shape, movement, intent or design.Content wise, misdirection and vagueness are the only quality offered. The reader will learn very little, and what they may learn isn't correct. You will find much better, thorough, and true information online visiting Bonsai Forums. Walk away from the monitor. Do NOT buy this book.

"Forming the shape of a bonsai can be a very individual subject and therefore it is very difficult for me to convey my ideas to you."While the author is undoubtedly a talented bonsai gardener, and may well be a good teacher 'at the elbow', his informal jargon may leave the reader puzzled, and his concept of 'dimensional drawings' for tree planning is still unclear, despite numerous example drawings.
