Title: Bonsai (101 Essential Tips) by Harry Tomlinson ISBN: 0-7894-9687-9 Publisher: DK Publishing Pub. Date: October, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $5.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.33 (15 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Lots of info, but not lots of pages! Must have!
Comment: If you like Bonsai, or received one as a gift, this is the book to get. Filled with 101 (literally) facts and tips, it is concise, streamlined and offers excellent pictures.
All critical areas are covered in the book: potting, trimming, shaping, wiring, feeding, watering (the most important perhaps!). If you want to take a crack at an advanced level of Bonsai care, it even guides and discusses growing the roots onto rock, and hanging patterns. There's also a few great tips that clears up the confusion about what sort of tools you *really* need.
This is a MUST to add to your Bonsai book collection.

Summary: a beginners point of view
Comment: I am just starting out in this hobby. I went to the bookstore and looked at many books before picking this one out. Most were priced at twenty dollars or more and I just didn't want to spend that much for something I was just getting into. I checked out several books from the library and read them, including another larger book by the same author. After reading them, I looked through this one and felt that most of the really important info in the larger books was in this one as well with less words and pictures. I am really happy with this book. The photos are clear and informative, and the information is just what I need to get started. Sometimes when starting out, it is better not to get too bogged down in details or you will never dive in. I think this book is just the thing to get a beginner started without making the whole bonsai thing seem out of reach and demanding. Eventually, I can see I will want a guide with more info on individual plants and their care, but this will get me started, and at a great price.

Summary: This book was BADsai!
Comment: Upon recieving this book as a gift from my late husband, I discovered that the information given in this book was quite unsatisfactory. As a seasoned Bonsai enthusiast, I found it degrading and demeening and an insult to my intelligence. Any serious Bonsai lover would know enough to realize the suggestions given in this manual are foolish and obscene.
I hope this helps.
