  • Must have for the new and experienced alike
Format: Kindle
In the vast world of bonsai literature there is a very short list of books that I would consider essential. This is one of them. Whether you are a beginner just starting out or are looking to delve deeper into more advanced techniques, you will find it in Bonsai Inspirations 1 & 2. From field growing your own trees, to carving deadwood, to soil composition, to increasing ramification and vigor, it's in here. I've followed Harrington's work online for a while now, and his site bonsai4me was instrumental in getting me on the right path towards fantastic trees and an in depth understanding of the art of bonsai. These books are a compilation of all of the info on his site as well as new information that is laid out in an easy to read format, taking you step by step in the development of numerous species of trees in his personal collection. You will go through the stages from seedling to bonsai in a way that is easy to understand, and with genuine concrete facts behind why he does the things he does. And you can't argue with the proof because they are some absolutely beautiful trees. If you are looking to obtain a strong grasp of the horticultural principles it takes to produce outstanding bonsai, and want a nice blend of the old school techniques as well as modern practices such as currently used inorganic soil compositions, then pick up both of these books. You will not be disappointed. ... show more

  • Great book
Format: Kindle
This was a great read and very informative. I learned more from reading this book than any previous book I have read on Bonsai. His style of writing incorporates a personal story about each tree and the progression of these trees through out the years. A lot of thought provoking, new(to me) ideas on how to style trees. ... show more

  • A must read for enthusiasts of all levels
Format: Kindle
This book and his other works are great. it provides information that is fundamental to design and puts it in a context so you can apply it to your own trees. Being a bonsai enthusiast for a bout 5 yrs I understand the frustration of finding information to developing your own trees from seedlings. Most of the information that I had stumbled onto, some great some bad is only but pieces of info. For example books I had read right from the beginning offered great info but its mostly for maintaining already developed trees. Mr Harrington I believe has provided the basis of a great teaching tool that I would love to see bonsai masters and bonsai clubs to develop further on. Thank you Mr. Harrington for providing a start to what could be a great way for masters to spread their knowledge comprehensively to enthusiasts so that they can enjoy this beautiful soulful journey with nature. ... show more

  • Super educational
Format: Kindle
I fount it entertaining and far more enlightening than any other bonsai book I have read. I wouldn't say this is a beginners book, as it doesn't tell you all of the common techniques you can easily just google, but if you are a beginner wanting to be inspired: Read This Book. And the Second one Too. Fantastic read! ... show more

  • Great Book
Format: Kindle
I read a ton of bonsai books and this book has the best section on building out branches and ramification. It provides excellent species progression examples as well. Overall one of the best bonsai books out there.
