A little bit of everything
This book is definitely over-rated by others (my opinion). However, I would agree with a couple of reader's comments that some of the pictures are good, but the discussion on the topics of bonsai are too general (and kind of shallow indeed). If anyone would like to know about or even start a bonsai, I would recommend a better substitute: Bonsai (101 Essential Tips) that...

If anyone would like to know about or even start a bonsai, I would recommend a better substitute: Bonsai (101 Essential Tips) that costs less than $5.00.

Learn Bonsai Techniques,
By
This review is from: Ortho's All About Bonsai (Paperback)
"This book shows step-by-step growing and training techniques, how to choose bonsai styles and tools, and it provides a comprehensive guide to plant selection. 'Learn the secrets of pruning, shaping, watering, and care requirements to ensure success with your miniature landscape in a pot.'" (summary by South Texas Library System)
These miniature landscapes have always fascinated me. They are a work of art. In the plant gallery, it shows 55 species of trees, shrubs, and woody plants suitable for bonsai use.

It Really is Complete!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ortho's All About Bonsai (Paperback)
This book is the most complete, authoritative and beautiful book on bonsai that I have studied. It is not just a little bit of everything, but a complete guide to choosing, caring for, and even creating bonsai. It is also highly readable and has beautiful photography. It is the bonsai guide to buy if you are planning to buy just one book. Also, it is areal bargain when purchased through amazon.

A very good book for anyone with an interest in cultivating bonsai. This book's no non-sense appoach coupled with its "readability" make it a great choice!
