bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Shohin Book a different opinion...

Okay, fair enough. The book had great photos, and a lot of good information, but maybe nothing really new. The question is, what IS there that is new and different, in bonsai?

What would you have liked to see that you didn't see? What aspect of shohin was not covered?

Considering the wide spectrum of climates, species, and soils... considering also that many of the practices for refinement are dependent upon local conditions or species... what could Morten have added?

Personally, I love the book, and got a lot out of it. But it would be interesting to know what others would most like to see.
