5.0 out of 5 stars
A supurb book. At least for a beginner like me.,
By Alex (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Bonsai (Paperback)
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.

Probably the only book you really need,

This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Bonsai (Paperback)
Before I picked up this simple little Tome, I knew absolutely nothing about bonsai. I was studying eastern cultures and thought to myself, "Hey, I'm bored. I'll bet that this could be an interesting side diversion." I did a quick search on Amazon, and decided this book looked the most concise. It is very reasonably priced, who can't spare a meager $5 to decide if a new activity interests you? The book is very clear and has many helpful full color pictures. I believe that all topics essential to Bonsai are covered: potting, trimming, shaping, wiring, feeding, watering. It even explains the basics of more advanced bonsai techniques: growing the roots onto rock, intricate hanging patterns. A complete list of equipment if provided for the 'real' bonsai gardener, but I made due with tools that I had lying around the house. After 15 minutes with the book, you've probably absorbed the majority of the information, and you can get started. I think the total cost to get me started was something like: $5 Book, $4 Juniper, $3 Pot. So I'm out $12.00 and a few hours of time before I decide if I enjoy this hobby or not. My cheap little bonsai is six months old now, and it looks just as nice as any picture I can find in the book. So unless you are planning on making bonsai your life's work, 101 Essential Tips is probably the only book you will ever need.

Help (think not)!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Bonsai (Paperback)
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!
