I agree with those that say BT has reduced in quality of content. These days we are getting repeats of articles from earlier editions. I understand and agree that some of it has to do with the arrival of the 100th edition but even so there does seem to be a lot of it.

When the quality of the articles deteriorated I stopped my subscription. I now buy only those editions that I find useful.
When I started to seriously strive within the hobby I found the hand-drawn 'how to' cartoons very useful. They seem to have been dropped. That's a shame because beginners would gain much information from them. I'm not suggesting that the old ones be repeated but a resumption of that type of article would be beginner friendly, lighthearted and very, very useful to us all.

On the other hand Bonsai Europe has gone from strength to strength and I advise those who do not read this excellent magazine to give it a try.

Nevertheless, BT has be a tremendous force in the hobby and I sincerely hope that it improves and becomes once again the flagship of bonsai reading.
