Concise and informative,
This review is from: Low-Maintenance Bonsai (Paperback)
This book is a useful guide to making the art of Bonsai a little easier for those of us with busy lives. It is full of useful information and good clear pictures. My only critisim is its bias towards USA conditions. Otherwise a good and useful book.
