Modern Bonsai Practice: 501 Principles of Good Bonsai Horticulture

Disappointing. Poorly worded, scattershot, arrogant and at times contradictory, this is a hard read. It's a book that tries too hard to show off how clever it is and ends up tied in its own knots. No woody pun intended. Little in this book takes the reader down the road of inspiration or enlightenment and it maybe even achieves the impossible of turning bonsai practice into something joyless and dour. On the plus side the Walter Pall photographs are exactly the opposite: about a third of the book is a delightful gallery of gorgeous miniature trees which seem completely at odds with the written content. A strange oddity.

A good book if you understand chemistry, photos not good look like they have been printed at home on a cheap printer with cheap paper rather pricy.

A present for someone so I cannot comment

Not an easy read by any means but it covers a lot of ground worth persevering with.

the best bonsai book i ever had, great approach different from any other book out there. really recommended

First class - full of information about bonsai care, and always correct information! Recommend highly.
