Bonsai Books for Novice/Intermediate

Post by Aussie_Bonsai »

Does anyone have any recommedation on Bonsai Books suited for the Novice/Intermediate. I have been looking for some bonsai books lately and most of them are pretty pricey, so i was after some advice on some books before i fork out a pack for one and find out it was a mistake. Anything under $50 is what i was after.

Regards,
Ben

Ben,

I'm only a beginner myself although I've managed to accumulate about 40 or so books. The one I keep coming back to is an Aussie one - Bonsai Art and Technique by Jennifer Wilkinson:

Also this Aussie one is recommended by many:

With the second one check around for price as it varies considerably.

Cheers, Ron.
