Review: A good Basic starting point for novices - Having tried and miserably failed to grow any bonsai many years ago, I had thought that would be it - a bonsai free household. Taking courage on both hands, I decided to try again, but this time with a tree that would not need specialist management that as a complete amateur I would clearly not have, as well as with a tree that was already growing well and established. Next notion was to find a guide book for someone like me, a novice to the craft but someone who likes to think they're not utterly moronic and can understand if given the necessary information. A book that would give me sufficient information to keep me interested - I like and perhaps need to know the 'why' of something, the underlying reason and explanation, in order to then maybe fulfil the instruction more fully... This little gem of a book was discovered at a super bargain price, and is clear enough using pictures to show techniques as well as narrative and technical info to keep both the utter newbie and the slightly more advanced beginner engaged. This is a Book of Basics, a starting point from which a person may proceed further if they wish in due course, but it is a Basic book. It shows and tells how to look after an already growing tree, what equipment you will require, and also gives a section on the different trees that can be bought along with how tricky they may be to keep well and healthy. It does not include anything about how to grow from scratch - I might imagine the time required to nurture a tree from a seed could well turn off a beginner and perhaps might involved technical that are rather more in the realm of advanced practitioners... A good starter book with enough detail to keep a novice referring back time and again. Thank you.
Review: Great for beginners - Found this a very easy read. Good illustrations and informative.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for beginners
*by M***H on 25 August 2024*

Found this a very easy read. Good illustrations and informative.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a excellent book for any newcomer to the world of bonsai
*by L***Y on 10 January 2017*

This is a excellent book for any newcomer to the world of bonsai. As many others, I received a little tree as a Christmas gift and was determined to give it a good life! The book excels in describing how trees work, thrive and wither, which is useful background to growing a miniature tree. Some important areas (e.g. pruning and pinching) are well explained, but somewhat ambiguous at times for the complete novice. The bonsai directory at the back is invaluable, the book is worth buying just for that bit. Overall, if you have been entrusted with the care of a bonsai but don't know how and where to start, this book is an excellent guide.
