5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best
I have the 1985 hard back edition of this book. It is one of the mainstays in my library. I have been doing bonsai for about 15 years and refer to this book often. The apendices are extremely helpful. They list a large number of trees and shrubs and tell when each should be repotted, wired, fed, pruned, etc. This is a must for anyone who has a variety of different specimens. You just can't remember it all. The pictures are beautiful and helpful for ideas on how to do your bonsai. I'm ordering this copy for my son-in-law who wants to begin the art of bonsai. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Herbal BonsaiPracticing the Art with Fast-Growing Herbs
This is the first book I have seen on the use of herbs as bonsai material. It is great book.It is informative and very descriptive with many black and white illustrations used to help explain text. Having only one-hundredpages, it is packed full of information on selecting herbs (includingauthor recommended choices) suitable for use as bonsai. Training,developing, potting, shaping, caring for, and displaying herbal bonsai areall covered in detail.References and resources include mail-ordernurseries.Terrific for beginners who don't want to invest a lot of money,but would like to try their hand at this hobby. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Not for Dollhouse Landscaping
This book deals mostly with miniature landscaping in an outdoor setting and is not very useful for landscaping a dollhouse. Many of the plants recommended are very difficult to find and require an outdoor location. Very few indoor plants are mentioned.It's a Great book for someone interested in outdoor gardening in miniature. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars You can judge this book by it's cover
This may be the worst Bonsai Book ever written.The tree on the front cover is a prime example of what a Bonsai tree is not supposed to look like.The tree is a young Ficus with no taper to the trunk.The branches grow straight up and the style is all wrong.Most importantly are the horrible scars on the branches from leaving the wires on too long.The book is very generic and really doesn't give enough information to create a heathly and well trained tree.If you have shown enough interest in Bonsai to pursue more information on the Art of Bonsai then you have already outgrown this book.Avoid this book, and buy a tree instead.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good introductory indoor bonsai book
As stated in the title this book is about indoor bonsai, or more precisely how to grow and maintain tropical bonsai indoors.It doesn't contain much info on non tropical species, which are more appropriate to growing outdoors.There are many beautiful pictures that will inspire the beginning bonsai artist to create masterpieces of their own.Highly recommended beginners book.

3-0 out of 5 stars Kind of Dull
While the book offers information on some indoor and partially indoorspecies, I was looking for a book with more species information.Thepictures were not all that great and the book in general appeared boring. It was more concise that what I was looking for.The book lacked manyspecies that I was interested in, such as: Camphor, Baobab, Banyan, Coffee,Bald Cypress, and Buttonwood. I have ordered Bonsai in your Home: An IndoorGrower's Guide, and hopefully that will have the information I need. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Highly technical and informative.
This book, beyond a doubt, has all of the information the serious bonsai artist needs to know.A friend gave me this book when I first expressed an interest in bonsai, and it succeeded in intimidating me.The authors provide very thorough details about creating bonsai, and take it to the level of science rather than art.However, it is because of this high degree of detail that I was struck with how serious the art really can be.I find it unfortunate that it is currently out of print, since it does cover bonsai in such detail.I would tend to recommend Japanese Art of Miniature Trees and Landscapes to the person who is quite dedicated to pursuing the art, and would not recommend it to a person with a more casual interest.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent bonsai book
This is one of the best bonsai books. It should be in every seriuos hobbyst's library. It contains all the information needed to get started on bonsai. It has an apendix for tools, equipment and soil, and another onevery helpfull, with plant names in Chinese-Japanese Characters. Yoshimorais a truly great Bonsai master. The disvantages are that the B&w photosare not of very good quality and the text can be a little tedious to read ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent first reference
I agree some of the trees leave you scratching your head but the book covers all the common bonsai species and is very comforting on the horticulture of bonsai, species by species.The reader needs to be awarethat the book assumes you're growing your trees in the south of France andadjustments need to be made for your own climate.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Very Good first Bonsai book. Packed with helpfull tips
A very good first bonsai book. Very clear picturesLots of suggestions and ideas.

2-0 out of 5 stars Only recommended as a curiosity...
There are numerous books on the subject of bonsai that are SO much better... This book has pictures of trees that look like the works of a dead drunk gardener. But if u want to relax from the "perfect" trees seen in many other good books, and relieve the tension from your own "mistakes" this could very well be the book to get ;-) The Art of Subtlety is in no way revealed in this book. However, there are very nice DRAWINGS of how the different styles can be percieved. There are some more or less useless techniques on display in the book. And the focus seems to be more on technique rather than on aiming for something beautiful. The most "shocking" of all mis-facts in the book is: The Siberian Pea Bush (Caragana sp.) is listed as an indoor species... It is not. It DEFINITELY needs a good winter-freeze to go on living. It is an extremely hardy bugger ... Read more

Photos are uninspiring, if not misleading.All the trees pictured resemble twigs thrown between undefined rocks with no thought to shape, movement, intent or design.2-0 out of 5 stars To quote the author...
"Forming the shape of a bonsai can be a very individual subject and therefore it is very difficult for me to convey my ideas to you."Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Shouldn't be used alone
What you should know before buying this kit is that no one experienced with bonsai trees seems to be growing Jack Pine Trees.So, it can be difficult to find supplementary information.Also, I planted all six seeds and only got one to sprout.Now that I've done more research, I am a little surprised that I got even one.Most trees that need cold stratified stay in the refrigerator for 90 days, not one week.
1-0 out of 5 stars do not buy these, they are a waste of money and time
These kits are a waste of time and money.Please don't be tricked by the charlatan peddlers of these "bonsai" kits.If you want to start with bonsai, buy a beginning bonsai insruction book, such as harry tomlinson's, and then purchase some potted shrubs from your local nursery.
2-0 out of 5 stars No sprouts yet
I also purchased this when it caught my eye at a bookstore.
