Re: what are you reeding at the moment
G,day Dayne at the moment I am reading.
Majesty in Miniature By Morten Albek, Shohin Bonsai, unlocking the secrets of small trees. Stone lantern. I am also looking though the best of Europe 4 and the Best of British.
I am lucky I have avery exstensive Library of my own. I also have access to two very good club ones.
Cheers

Re: what are you reeding at the moment
Not reading anything at the moment, sigh, My reading glasses got terminated by the children and just when I could afford a new pair the shop shut. Such is life. I have problems reading newspaper print without them. I need to work on my book but cant read the references, grrr.

I've been reading Stieg Larssons millennium trilogy which is why I haven't been seen here much lately.

Re: What are you reading at the moment?
I'm currently reading (for the 5th time) Bonsai: Its Art, Science, History and Philosophy by Deborah Koreshoff.
In my opinion, it is one of the best, if not the best, reference for those interested in the art of bonsai. If you haven't read it yet, I encourage you to get hold of a copy.
Regards,
Steven

Good book, with great 'Life Histories' (hence the title) of bucket loads of different bonsai species.
