It's written by Richard Ota and John Naka. It's not John's Bonsai Techniques. If anyone happens to know where I can find a copy I would really appreciate it. Richard came to our Kofu Kai meeting in Anaheim, CA last week and I wanted to get a a copy of one of his publications signed. Thanks, George

The original receipt is still in mine, from Jan 31, 1980 at Yamaguchi Bonsai Nursery on Sawtelle Blvd in South Central Los Angeles, or whatever they are calling it nowadays. Bonsai Techniques for Satsuki By John Y. Naka, Richard K. Ota, Kenko Rokkaku Copyright 1979, Printed in Japan by Gekkan Satsuki Kenkyusha Published by Ota Bonsai Nursery 141 pages, Illustrated with 24 color plates. Library of Congress Catalog Card number is 79-70119 (?) Best bets are club libraries estate auctions online booksellers like eBay and Amazon used books. Good luck, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!

Not bad for a paperback on bonsai. I am going to have to re-read this one and then sell it! Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

If you are patient you can look through sites like Alibris and wait for one to come up. That's how I got mine a while back. -W
