3 Stars Okay
This book is small and really just a good overview of what Bonsai’s are like. This is sort of a starter guide, explaining the ins and outs of Bonsai. If you’re just beginning raising the trees, this is a good book to add to your collection. If you, however, already have a knowledge base about raising and caring for Bonsai, you can move along to a more comprehensive book.

4 Stars Good Beginner Book, but needs more details…
This was a good beginner book for my husband when we bought our first bonsai, although we wish there was more descriptions on trimming it and how much water to give it. We think we have some sort of ficus bonsai, but couldn’t find it in the book, so we’re hoping what we are doing will keep it alive! Good tips on most aspects of keeping them thriving.

4 Stars A Wonderful Summary For Growing Bonsai
This book is the perfect starting point for any one who is interested in the art of bonsai. With its 101 steps it depicts the whole process of bonsai making, however the book does not go in to greater detail. I had to turn to additional literature to successfully complete the processes that are described in it. But if I had not had this book I would really not know where to start. In addition to the useful tips, the book includes beautiful pictures and clear illustrations that help with the understanding of the art. I use this book all the time to catch up on some of the techniques I need to use when dealing with my lovely plants.
