Reviews for The Bonsai Book
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of the better books on the subject of bonsai by world-renowned artist and author Dan Barton. Contains numerous color photos, b&w photos, and pen & ink drawings by the author throughout, and details the histories of many of his personal trees over several decades. Also includes chapters on Aesthetic principles, Propagation, Basic & advanced techniques, and the Bonsai Calendar. This book is OOP and rather difficult to find.
