5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect product for bonsai interested maple lovers, January 22, 2007
By S. Roxburgh "bonsai-ist" (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bonsai with Japanese Maples by Peter Adams has all you will ever need to know about maples in bonsai. Excellent colour photos, techniques are explained in adequate depth and it is well worth the price, I paid shipping to Australia just for this product. The only issue of concern is that one should read a basic bonsai book for a few clarifications on wording, that is to say it is written for an intermediate-bonsai audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars After all these years, January 4, 2007
I first saw this book as a bonsai student but it was already out of print. After years of searching, and seeing prices over $150, I am really happy to see it in re-print. It is the seminal Japanese maple book with many ideas that can be used for any deciduous tree. I strongly recommend it for anyone doing bonsai.
