Hello,

What's the real deal about the out of print, rare, hard to find bonsai books that sell for such high prices? The book by Peter Adams, Bonsai Design:Japanese Maple for example. Do people pay so much for this book for the content or because it's a collectible and out of print? A whole book about Japanese Maple sounds great to me, but does this book really shed a lot of light on the subject? Are there other species specific books like this that are still in print? I'd rather buy a bunch of books each having a lot of information about a particular species than a few books with a little information about a lot of different trees.

Anybody have any suggestions on a good book about deciduous bonsai?

Thanks to all,
weirdowl
