AusBonsai

Hi all,

The latest magazine has just arrived. I will be posting to all "regulars" tomorrow.

PM me if you would like a copy - they are $15 each plus $2.70 postage!

can I get a list of feature articles please?

I am surprised more people dont buy this mag. I know postage bumps the price up a little, but I have seen this mag selling for up to $20 without postage from some bonsai nurseries. It is a good mag with plenty of good material something for the beginner to the advanced.

I have plenty of back issues too if you want any.

Cheers,
Leigh.

mate always happy to get my regular one off you, hopefully more will follow. its a nice surprise when ones in the mail

i am a little put off getting them leigh, not for price or anything like that but that i dont have the whole collection, i would be hunting for back issues all the way to the first bonsai today, and end up spending a small fortune getting them.

sorry leigh

jamie

I guess if you didnt want to buy one - you could always enter the Ledanta Monthly Virt Comp and get one for nothing!

Just speaking in general - not really pointed at you Jamie!

I know what you mean - I am at the other end of the scale - I have more than enough bonsai related books and magazines - but I am stuck now - if I stop buying the magazines I wont have a full collection!!!

yea i reckon that would drive me even madder than not getting the full set after starting in always having gotten it then stopping for a while and not getting them all or being in the position where you have to get them every month or your set wont be complete.

Yeah - and I have the whole set of Bonsai Today, Bonsai Europe, Bonsai Focus & International Bonsai!!!

Not as bad as a mate of mine though! He has two sets of each (one for reading - the other for keeping pristine) He also has every kokufu album, just about every book on bonsai, and probably a few other journals and magazines! He also collects mini pots - which is a whole other ball game!

ya mate sounds like he is a bit obsessive compulsive mate my sister has that. it can get frustrating for sure.
