Craig, I stab you with a thousand sharis, for posting such an un-attainable collection for sale.
Feel that twitch in your eye, yeah right there!

:D :tu: :worship:

Wow, have ogled at these for years in one of his books. Always comes with a bit of sadness when someone sells their collection like this.

JEEBUS!!!!!!!!


I think the bonsai community will be at a great loss that Craig is retiring from bonsai teaching. his books have been of some major influence to me especially as inspiration in my earlier years. I constantly go back to them for guidance and styling help.

I hope he gets more than what he is asking for, he deserves it, he has been a great member to the bonsai community over the whole world.
SHOHIN YAKUZA!!!

A wonderful opportunity for somebody entering the business in the UK. $AU 44,000, is an absolute bargain. I suspect that Craig is phbilosophical about the sale. True creative people do not cling to the past like non creatives.
Best wishes to Craig with his future ventures
