I have to agree with ya al....
As a beginner, I would love to see more how to articles... or even articles about the history of a tree! I know, I know, how to's have been done over and over again..........but I haven't been reading the magazine for 10 years and no way to buy 10 years worth of back issues LOL. The ads for bonsai books are like the ads for furniture in our local newspaper... necessary fluff. Want me to write an article? Sure......but I don't have enough experience under my belt to not get flamed with giant torch for opinions

.
And it does get tiring seeing the same exact stuff over and over.... but we do have to remember that not all bonsai mag readers are on the internet like us

, so to them, its new
