bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - John Naka's Bonsai Techniques I

I just bought this from a used bookstore in upstate New York. I was just perusing the gardening section and there it was. This is an older one, a third printing I believe. But here is the best part. I opened it to look through, and on the title page written in beautiful cursive was written:

To: Margaret

I hope this will be the beginning of your never ending love for bonsai.

John Yoshio Naka

June, 1979

Of course, I had to buy this. I talked the owner down to $45 and walked out feeling like I had just stolen this gem. This is definitely the crown jewel to my ever grwing bonsai book collection.
