 Not nearly enough information for a beginner April 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is basically just a picture book with captions. It will familiarize you with different styles and concepts, but does not provide any useful "tips" as the title suggests, nor does it provide any information which I would consider essential to learning bonsai, so much as just understanding what it is and what it looks like. I bought this book as a beginner and having read it, am no more informed than I was before.
The information available for free on the internet is far more in-depth and useful than this book. I'm leaving it at two stars because the pictures really are great and show a wide range of design options. I will keep the book to use those as a reference, even though the book does little if anything to explain how to accomplish those designs.
Bonsai Help March 31, 2008
The DK Bonsai book is a help for anyone wanting to learn how to "Bonsai" or learn what kind of trees can be used in this fashion. It is basic and has great photos, as in the DK tradition.
Just started this is a good book. March 29, 2008
Disclaimer, I just started this addicting hobby so my knowledge base is less than a neophyte. However, I found this book to be informative regarding basic styles and techniques on how to begin to look at trees and terminology I found on the bonsai web pages. Good book to get more hooked on this fascinating art form.
 Very informative March 18, 2008
I bought this for my son who is interested in all things Japanese. This is the DK book series at its best, very informative, well illustrated and covering a wide range of material. Probably not enough information to start cultivating trees on your own; but a very good introduction to Bonsai.
If you are interested in Bonsai and have the chance the collection at the Nation Arboretum in Washington DC is worth the trip.
