A good inclusive work for the craft of Bonsai. More like 'a beginners view to Materclass techniques made simple'. Read for personal research. Lots of photos are included with informative captions. I found this work of immense interest and a good supplement for my other books. Its contents were helpful and inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs. Overall, this work is also a good resource for the researcher and enthusiast.
