Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Using a successful handbook format, Pike provides easy-to-understand growing instructions for bonsai gardeners. Illustrative diagrams and color photos along with basic propagation and growing information give the reader confidence to attempt growing bonsai. Beginners will find this handbook especially useful because Pike carefully explains and illustrates basic growing techniques. Another recent title that may be purchased for the beginning and intermediate grower is Dan Barton's The Bonsai Book ( LJ 6/1/90) or, for a wonderful resource book with many outstanding examples of bonsai purchase, Classic Bonsai of Japan ( LJ 11/1/89). All of these titles are useful for your bonsai reader/growers.
