"I found this book to be frustrating and irritating. The writing was disorganized, jumpy, and imprecise. The information presented was incomplete, leaving me wondering how to do the most basic of techniques they would mention, but not not explain. Over and over, they would give step by step accounts of how this or that "master" changed this poor, cast-away tree into a new "classic." But in these accounts, they didn't actually teach anything. They described only.
If that wasn't enough, the book's editing and layout was unacceptably terrible. Pictures were miscaptioned. Pictures were mixed-up. Words were misspelled. Layout was horribly unaesthetic and confusing. It was difficult to tell where one person's writing left off and where another started. It was also difficult to tell where the text was compared to random captions for random pictures that may or may not have been related to each other. Aweful.
The one bright thing about this book was the short explanation of the history of Bonsai. However, even that was marred by bad writing and bad editing. In fact, there were to sections for the history of Bonsai, and they said similar things. It should have been condensed, but it wasn't. And in all their descriptions, they did not include a picture of the things they were describing. It was horribly disorganized. Steer clear of this one."
