I feel a bit suspicious of those online care for Bonsai books, has anyone paid for one, I think they are about 17 bucks. Are they worth i or should I just get a paper book? Thanks

I wouldn't pay for an online book. Used copies of standards, like Tomlinson are readily available. (May be less expensive elsewhere.)

One of the best is online, and FREE!!!

It is Tom Zane's Syllabus for Intermediate Bonsai

Told you so!

I read a post a couple of years ago on the IBC that said it was one of the best books out there. (I agree.)

It was out of print then, so I bought a copy on eBay. About a year later, Tom posted it on the BSF website.
