Do you learn better from photos, diagrams or narrative?
Narrative/diagrams: Bonsai Techniques I & II by Naka... organized
differently than other books I've seen... much more "how to" with many
specific topics. Recommended.
Photos: Tomlinson's is one of the best overall books I found when
starting... good combination of general info, color pictures, some species
specific info, etc.
Narrative: Evergreen Gardenworks has a bunch of good, no nonsense, articles
on a variety of topics. Recommended.
