newbie eager to enter the art of bonsai

Lilli

Cheers all,
I've read trough this forum and found some very good advice. I am a newcomer, too -I bought my first tree today. I have a ficus benjamina natasja. It is beautiful, really!! I've seen lots of pictures on ficus here and got advice that these are good for beginning. There are 7 little trees in my pot now and I am planning to start with a little forest. (Love the idea of having a small forest in the future...)
So my question would be, what kind of books do you advice for a start. At the "gardencenter" they told me, that my ficus can lose its leaves when moving, so I plan to leave it resting for 2 weeks. But what then? I also have problems with the styles, I've seen some but how should I begin...??
I would like to make the first steps and don't know how. I would be very grateful for some practical advice! Help me, please!
thanks a lot Lilli
