I had a chance to get thru most of the book over the weekend. Great information with alot of familiar pictures if you visited Mortens' website. I especially liked the detailed explanations on putting together a shohin display. Not just a "here's what to do" but the "why" was the most informative part for me. There was also a nice section on choosing an appropriate pot with some stunning photos! I think the only thing I would critique is that I was hoping for was more pictures of good shohin trees in training, step by step views... If you've been on his web page you've probably seen everything in the book. Either way, that's my 2 cents and I'm very happy with it.

Kind Regards,
