I have not read it. From what I have read about it, I probably will not buy it, but I'm not looking for a good "bonsai read" these days. I would be happy to have it as a gift, I think, but right now I am too busy reading between the lines of Andy Rutledges eBook on the same subject. By now, most of the discussion is centering on the "authenticity" ?? of the zen aspects of the book. Regards, Bart

Rene_Voortwist Guest Posts: n/a	Hi Bart, I think the book is very informative, with great pictures and a lot of useful information, but I'm also having second thoughts about the zen parts. That's why I posted this to see what the opinions of others might be. I didn't notice the discussion on the IBC. Is it on the gallery or the no-pictures newsgroup ? ( I think that the two should be combined ) regards, René

I concur with his view on this one. Best regards, Carl __________________ In love with trees Last edited by Carl Bergstrom : 17-Jan-2004 at 06:19 AM.
