I have to second Craig on Amy Liang's book. I find myself referring to
it quite often. It's available in hardcover and paperback. I also like
the The Art of Bonsai Design and the Bonsai Survival Manual by Colin
Lewis. For tropicals/ficus I would recommend Jerry Meislik's new book,
Ficus, The Exotic Bonsai.

Also good advice. My very first book was Amy Liang's "Living Art of
Bonsai," which
has a 70+ page gallery at the beginning that is outstanding. It still
provides me
with inspiration.
