From the extracts I saw here and on the author's website, those books look like an incredible value for the price.

Your welcome, You will find that given you can find the correct material the step by step photos will have you making awesome bonsai very easily. Once the basic pictures have been digested they can be applied to many like species and they will be like second nature.

Another thing that is very good about the books is that since they are so clearly illustrated it is very easy to learn what kind of material can make what. The process is shown on how to remove this to accentuate that. This is a key learning exercise that translates to any size material and shohin is really no different than its larger cousin.

So its like killing two trees with one book. (I just made that up)

Good reading, Al
