5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all round book for anyone, beginner to intemediate, 29 May 2001

By A Customer

It's been a long time since I have read a book that is well laid out with lots of techniques, hundreds of good photographs and easy to follow instructions. While it states that it is a book for beginners, well then, are we not all beginners in reality? Because this book does not patronise the reader but carefully shows motivational examples of what a beginner can expect to do from the start through the first three or four years of learning all about Bonsai. The author is obviously an experienced teacher and this comes out in his easy to read words, which flow very nicely. In fact, it is not so much a reference book but a book one can sit down and happily read. Many excellent mature examples sit in amongst beginner efforts. The author is not scared to show some of his earliest attempts and how they developed from ugly ducklings into quite beautiful swans. This only achievable because he has taken photographs since he started the hobby nearly thirty years ago. This is 'must buy' book for the newcomer as well as the enthusiasts and general gardener.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic bonsai book!, 13 Jul 2002

By	David Hill (Manchester) - See all my reviews

I started Bonsai recently and saw Craig Coussins at a Bonsai convention. He was very inspirational and a truly excellent teacher. I got his book, Bonsai for Beginners, and this was the book I needed to understand the world of Bonsai. I use it all the time as a reference and enjoy the hundreds of excellent photographs throughout the book. I am very happy to write this review as this book, in my opinion, is the best Bonsai book on the market.

This book is laid out extremely well with clear representations of techniques and practices. I think it's ideal for all levels of Bonsai enthusiast from beginner to expert. Easy to read with a nice portfolio of pictures.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too convoluted, not at all what I expected for beginners
I'm sorry to say I found this book to be most disappointing, I felt that too much information was trying to be express, resulting in the loss of the fundemental details. Read more
