Consumer review about The Bonsai Bible: The definitive guide to choosing and growing bonsai (Octopus Bible Series) :

I like this book, I really do, but for a beginner (me) it is too much of an overview and not enough nitty gritty practical stuff like Bonsai4Me's Bonsai Basics which I prefer. Chan's discussion of the individual species was very helpful to me regarding choosing bonsai, and giving hints as to how to proceed with raw material purchased from garden centres and tree nurseries.
