One more thing...

If one is serious in studying bonsai and its history, it is important to be able to have reference books which depict bonsai design and display from many years ago. That is one reason old exhibition books are valuable, especially to me.

Also one can see how certain masterpieces have changed during the past decades. Often the branches and containers change, but the basic trunk does not and is often clearly visible.
