Help (think not)!

After looking through this book, I wasn't very impressed with how to care for the bonsai. Don't get me wrong, the pictures were great and I'm sure that they might be of help to others. (just not me). I was really dissappointed in the lack that this book has (I got more from just the internet alone)!!!
Oh well, I tried and it will be an added book now for me to look at sometimes as well as take up space!
Good Luck all!

Bonsai cultivation how-to in a nutshell.

This very affordable, essential reference for beginners covers all the basics of bonsai cultivation in a broad range of topics, without ever turning too technical for the reader. The well-organized, thoroughly indexed and concise information is presented in handy tips, easy-to-remember answers to frequently asked questions, and step-by-step expert advice with detailed explanations that include topics like:
*Starting a bonsai
*Design principles
*Bonsai styles and displays according to the seasons
*Useful tools
*How to create a bonsai step-by-step
*Caring for and propagating bonsai
*Bonsai species and arrangements
The key information and direct-to-the-point explanations contained in this handbook are accompanied with more than 250 full-color photos and illustrations, which perfectly depict the points being made and make this volume visually enjoyable. And with a binding perfectly suited for constant browsing and repeated check-ups, you are sure to come back to it again and again.
The one thing missing from this volume is a glossary for common terms, but overall, the nuggets of helpful information presented here are a great value for their price. This is a must-buy for beginners and would-be bonsai hobbyists who want a simple and easy to follow guide with instructions that can be instantly absorbed.

A Handy Book

As a beginner (one and a half year) in this art, the book -my second one- is really a handy one. This is, by its price, size, photo quality and "right to the point comments", I consider it very useful for beginners. It has lot of photos of how to start a bonsai from a nursery plant. Not like some books that show masterpieces, but do not show you the bridge to get to them. I mean, imagine a "How to Paint Book", full of Van Gogh, Picasso, etc. masterpieces without showing you sketches, drawing materials and intermediate steps. I carry it along every time, to keep "watching it", not just words.

A supurb book. At least for a beginner like me.

I got that book because people recommended it and it wasn't that expensive. I think that the book is great. It has many colorful pictures that show exactly what you have to do and every single one of 101 tips that are in that book, come in handy. The size of the book is really small which makes like a reference or a guide. I recommend this book to any beginner.
