Review: The best bonsai book of recent times - Most books on bonsai in the English language have been written by authors that have had little or no formal training in the art. Finally a book by someone who knows what he talking about. Although this book is aimed at people new to bonsai, it also has enough in it to interest a seasoned bonsai grower whilst correcting mis-information from earlier publications. The techniques shown are clear and concise, the photography is what you would expect from a DK book and the writing style is detailed without being overly heavy and complicated. The tree material used in the "creating your own bonsai" section is readily available to all and although relatively low budget, the techniques are readily transferable to more complicated trees. Bonsai are not created from advanced, fancy techniques but good techniques honestly, thoughtfully and timely applied and this book has this in spades. I hope this book inspires all that look through its pages and turn them on to the enjoyment of bonsai.
Review: Great read as always from Dorling Kindersley - As always DK have produced a really nice and interesting reference book. This book is very well laid out and easy to follow. The presentation and layout makes it an easy read which most reference books are not. Contains all the information you need to start growing and looking after bonsai plants and some information on more advanced techniques and species as well. The part covering the history of bonsai is particularly interesting. Would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in reading about or getting started with bonsai.

*by S***E on 6 January 2015*

I bought this book for my son who has several bonsais and is keen to start grafting his own. this book is a great starting point with lots of detailed, easy to follow information on the subject. Also nicely laid out with sections on species and pruning styles.
