I have followed Peter Chan's YT channel for some time and appreciate his expert but un-intimidating teaching style. With this compact little book I have all the info at my fingertips. It starts with all the basics of pruning and shaping (total newbie here) The info is very well organized and consistent for all plant types, many clear photos on strong water-resistant paper (I'll take it to my greenhouse). I'm super thrilled. ... show more

    • Does include some tropical (non-traditional) bonsai care
Format: Kindle
Kudos to Peter Chan for including specific information on non-traditional trees as well as traditional ones! However, he is missing one of the most popular group of non-traditional trees, Portulacaria afra and close relatives. This includes Dwarf Jades and Money Trees. The book was first published in 2014 in England, which may have an effect on the trees included. Also, for the reader in North America, there are a few words and phrases that are unfamiliar. The information included in the book is very easy to understand, and covers almost any situation. The instructions about different techniques are very clear. It is heavy on outdoor bonsai and the concerns of growing bonsai in one's yard, but does include a few indoor concerns. Of course, a review of bonsai tradition is included. This is the most complete book on bonsai that I have found on Kindle, mostly due to the detailed coverage of non-traditional trees. This is, in fact, the only one I have found with detailed information on these types of trees at all. Perhaps I'm being picky about the omission of a few, however, I own those trees, and I was disappointed not to find them included. ... show more

    • Bonsai for beginners and more
Format: Paperback
This book came packaged well. It is much more detailed than I expected and has a lot of information, including species and pictures. It seems good for anyone who is interested in the art of Bonsai, whether new or experienced. I am a beginner and found it easy to understand and I would expect someone who knows Bonsai might use this "bible" as an informative reference. ... show more

    • Quit downsizing us to death!
Format: Paperback
Who thought there would come a time when so many books would be published like they were pocket field guides? Nothing against the author or his content, but when the publishers start using 10 and 6pt font because they have shrunk the physical size of the books so much, they literally should come with a warning or maybe an enlarging lens. In actuality, the book is too big to fit in your average pocket, but requires a magnifying glass to read, at least for my aging eyes. ... show more

Format: Paperback
This was a gift for family member who received a plant and wanted more information on how to care for it. Altho I would recommend getting in contact with a local Bonsai group if available, this is a basic bible for bonsai care.
