Bonsai by Peter Chan (2001, Hardcover)

This is an excellent overview of the art of Bonsai. I bought it as a beginning Bonsai artist, to get some insight into grafting but I got sooooo much more. I find that Peter Chan covers the gammot of Bonsai, from Picking pots to pruning and parasites. Packed full of beautiful color photos, he walks you through picking good trees for bonsai and getting them potted, as well as creating the absolute best conditions for growing a healthy bonsai.

Keeping healthy and happy Bonsai is much more complicated than just watering and cutting. This book helps take some of the scariness and difficulty out of the process. Bravo Mr. Chan, ...Bravo!!!
