Lifeless as a dead tree.,
By Kathy "kathy8251" (Clearwater, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indoor Bonsai: A Beginner's Step-By-Step Guide (Crowood Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
Photos are uninspiring, if not misleading. All the trees pictured resemble twigs thrown between undefined rocks with no thought to shape, movement, intent or design.Content wise, misdirection and vagueness are the only quality offered. The reader will learn very little, and what they may learn isn't correct. You will find much better, thorough, and true information online visiting Bonsai Forums. Walk away from the monitor. Do NOT buy this book.

This review is from: Indoor Bonsai: A Beginner's Step-By-Step Guide (Crowood Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
"Forming the shape of a bonsai can be a very individual subject and therefore it is very difficult for me to convey my ideas to you."While the author is undoubtedly a talented bonsai gardener, and may well be a good teacher 'at the elbow', his informal jargon may leave the reader puzzled, and his concept of 'dimensional drawings' for tree planning is still unclear, despite numerous example drawings.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good advice and great ideas,

This review is from: Indoor Bonsai: A Beginner's Step-By-Step Guide (Crowood Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this small book for its advice and photos, and it's great for getting ideas for indoor Bonsai landscapes, especially working with rock formations.
It does not pretend to be a definitive reference for indoor Bonsai, for which I recommend Bill Valavanis . . .
