Bonsai: The Art of Growing and Keeping Miniature Trees

I have bought several books now on Bonsai and this is the ONLY one I would recommend, the others were just horrendous with little to know structure and huge font just to fill out the pages. This book on the other hand is full of information and techniques laid out in an easy to follow method. If you are interested Peter has an excellent youtube channel too.

Superb book by Peter Chan. A must for all budding bonsai learners

Good book, to take your bonsai knowledge a little beyond beginner level, not perhaps for people who are already quite proficient in the art. Great for amateurs to learn a little more.

Enjoyed reading this excellent book by Peter Chan. The book is an older one, but the few somewhat dated pictures doesn't change any of the valuable information that Mr. Chan passes along. Lots good pictures of beautiful Bonsai trees! Great for Bonsai lovers, those practiced or just starting out. Lots of techniques, ideas and inspiration inside. Plus it makes for an interesting coffee table book as well.

What a wonderful little book this truly is! As a beginner I've purchased several books about Bonsai / PenJing but sadly been a little disappointed with the details concerning important information about timing and methods of growing etc. This slim volume was the shortest and the cheapest of my purchases, and has the most comprehensive explanations, not only of what and how, but also the species of plant on which the method works best, as well as those on which it might not. Even a short browse through the content of text and photos I had a clearer idea of what tools I would need and when to prepare. If you are a bonsai beginner I recommend this book without any hesitation (& thank you Peter Chan)
