This thread is mostly for the Bonsai Beginners out there, like myself. I have read this message board for several months now, and along the way have picked up incredible advice about trees, styling, care, etc.
A few times the issue of
Books for Beginners has been brought up. I consider myself a pretty good online shopper, I always try to find the best deals, and I thought I'd pass along some of the best deals on Bonsai books I have found.
First off, the John Naka books. Bonsai Clubs International sells these for the lowest prices I could find, prices and links below:
Bonsai Techniques I & II - $25 & $35 Respectively, Brand New
I have ordered both through Bonsai Clubs International ... shipping is always very fast, and customer service is good. They don't have an online shopping cart, but you can e-mail your order directly to them.

Sunset: Bonsai - $5.75 Brand New
This book had been recommended a few times on this message board, so I thought I'd give it a try. It retails for $14.95, but I was able to buy it Brand New for only $5.75 on half.com. I used a $5 Coupon for $5 off a $10 Purchase. They sell it Brand New for $10.75 - $5 Coupon = $5.75
If you would like a coupon, any half.com member can send you one (its for new users only I think). If you don't have a $5 Coupon, I can send you one if you're interested. Just
e-mail me.

Hope this was helpful! I'm always on the look out for deals
