Review: Well written and comprehensive - This is a well written, very comprehensive book for the bonsai hobbyist. I loved the pictures and the history of the hobby. I got the Kindle version for my Fire tablet so I can enlarge the small pictures to see detail. I'm not sure how big the pictures would be in a hard copy of the book. I also liked the way the author organised the information using lists to begin the explanations. Personally, although I enjoy reading about bonsai I have to say that I actually learned more from watching You Tube videos. Maybe it is the reinforcing of the information by seeing it done and reading about it but I definitely need both mediums to understand how to actually plant, trim, and wire a plant to make a miniature tree.
Review: Peter Chan is a master at Bonsai. - Enjoyed reading this excellent book by Peter Chan. The book is an older one, but the few somewhat dated pictures doesn't change any of the valuable information that Mr. Chan passes along. Lots good pictures of beautiful Bonsai trees! Great for Bonsai lovers, those practiced or just starting out. Lots of techniques, ideas and inspiration inside. Plus it makes for an interesting coffee table book as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good guide
*by S***I on March 5, 2024*

Beautiful pictures with good instructions for new and old bonsai lovers. This book had helps from starting, planting, choosing the pots, trimming styles and design ideas for a bonsai garden without getting overly technical. It was a great gift.
