    • An amazing collection of bonsai
I've read one review criticizing the amount of picture as it was kind of showing of herself by the author. I didn't see as this. I think it is part of the intent of this book to show a good collection of high quality bonsai, if someone could say that exists (It is not my objective here to begin this kind of discussion around bonsai esthetic). So, the best thing about this book is there presentation of bonsai, which I think is also important on the study of bonsai art. It serves as inspiration, observation, and contemplation and so on. About the rest of the book, I think it has moderate information about techniques and training, with more details than the first of my bonsai books, "The Complete Book of Bonsai" Harry Tomlinson. It also has a plant physiology section, not very important to someone who practices bonsai, but to people more curious about the biology aspects, as I am, it is an interesting reading.

    • Mixed Reaction
I ordered this book because it sounded comprehensive and promised lots of photos. Having spent a good bit of time looking it over, I confess to very mixed feelings about it. There is a lot of excellent information inside and some very handsome bonsai portraits, but the overall subject treatment varies: sometimes Dr. Liang goes into depth, while at other times her approach remains superficial. Her section "Bonsai Creation," for instance, runs all of 4 pages (primarily photographs) and essentially recommends spending a lot of time looking at trees. Worse, I couldn't escape the sense that the book is in some regards a vanity publication. Many of the pictures focus on Dr. Liang and her trees, occasionally including family members, and very few of those pictures are instructive; they seem intended instead to show off her collection. And while the writing is generally solid, the English is at times stilted and could have used editing by someone for whom it is not a second language. Having said all that, it's not a bad book by any means and it does contain useful information. However, I recommend thinking of it as one source among many and suggest buying a used copy to save a few dollars. ... show more

    • Oil Dregs?
Format: Paperback
It's a good book, great pictures, but the main solid fertilizers she mentions have "oil dregs" as a main ingredient. I can't find any indication of where to buy this stuff, googling "oil dregs" produces no hits. Anybody know what she's talking about?
