    Bonsai

    Bought a couple of other books on how to care for the bonsai my boyfriend bought me, and this book is colorful and informative. It's a good buy if youre trying to figure out how to care for your tree.

  • A great book that is very informative

    I have always been interested in the art of Japanese bonsai and wanted to learn how to create such masterpieces. This book is a great introduction to this age old art. The author offers a great how-to guide as well as many pictures of beautiful bonsai trees. It is great for learning about Japanese bonsai and also makes for a nice display on my coffee table.

  • The Complete Book of Bonsai

    This is the most educational book on bonsai I've found as of yet. It doesn't only give pics of end results {which are Beautiful!} but gives you step by step process in which to achieve the desired look. It includes a detailed description of varied tools and materials as well as the means to use them. I believe that anyone from beginner to intermediate could take something from it's pages, if not ideas for the pro. If someone is a beginner, this is a must have guide.

  • Excellent!

    This book was an extremely good Bonsai book. Tells you most of the basics of bonsai. Most pages have very big pictures. After reading it, I just flipped through and looked at the pictures to get good ideas for my trees. I wish it had more information about making or buying bonsai soil and about fertilizer. Gives very detailed information on a good many species of trees, and has an index of about 300 species of trees with basic light, soil, environment information.

  • Complete Book of Bonsai by Harry Tomlinson

    I know its as hard to judge a book with a cover as it is to judge one without, but you can take a leap of faith on this book. I got lucky and a friend had the same book. I wanted my own. Its the most complete book i've seen, I haven't had a question it can't answer. I'm sure there's something missing but I have't found it. This is perfect reference for anyone, even if you just get it for the pictures they're amazing_JusticeHasFailed@aol.com
