Overstock.com is where I tend to get most of my books. I don't have too
many, about 15, and several issues of Bonsai Today. One important thing
I've learned is that although many tips/tricks or advice about bonsai are
written in stone, much of it is not. Maybe even most. Although I don't
claim to know all about it, soil mixes and fertilizing are two major ones
that are not. How to get wisteria to flower is another. In any case, more
books = better perspective.
When I was first starting out, I thought it was really nice to have both a
beginner's book, like the Sunset Bonsai, and Something that fleshes out a
little more of the advanced techniques, many books by John Naka. This
helped me gauge my progress a little better and gave me more of a sense of
scope within my own experience. Broader perspectives are usually better.
In any case, good luck with your search!
Best,
Justin
