Need Help Looking For Special Bonsai Book

I'm having a difficult time finding a book called Bonsai Techniques for Satsuki. 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

It's out of print, but here is some additional information. 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

Thanks. I'll give them a call tomorrow afternoon and see if they have anymore copies available. I might just swing by as well. It sounds like a great place to get bonsai stock.

I just saw this same book come up on eBay and the bidding is up to $122 with 5 hours to go. Not bad for a paperback on bonsai.

I am going to have to re-read this one and then sell it!

Regards,

Matt

The book is a very good one, but not worth $100+ by any means. 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.
