Hi Folks,
I’m posting this announcement in anticipation of the release of my book, due out in late August or early September, entitled, “Gnarly Branches, Ancient Trees: The Life and Works of Dan Robinson - Bonsai Pioneer.”
A JPEG of the front cover is included below to wet the appetite.
I researched, wrote and published the book. Victrinia Ridgeway collaborated with me on the photography, and Walter Pall has been kind enough to write a great Foreword.
The book will be an oversized, 10” X 9” or so hardcover book of 292 pages, printed with high quality materials, and chock full of stunning pictures. Preliminary feedback from a number of people in the know has been strongly positive: I have no doubt that Dan’s unique bonsai wisdom and artistry will appeal to those at all levels of the art, and many others outside the field might evenn delight in his humor and humanity, as well as the sheer beauty of his works.
We hope to have autographed copies available from www.elandangardens.com. Stone Lantern will also carry it, and perhaps Amazon and other outlets as well. It will retail for USD $49.95.
I also hope to have a DVD available either at the time of the book’s release or shortly thereafter, featuring several slideshows of photos from the book set to music, as well as a highly instructive and inspiring old video Dan recorded years ago about collecting and styling trees.This will be available separately from the book at a price that has yet to be determined, or as an optional add-on to the book at a discounted price.
I’ll post more here later when I know the book's specific availability dates.
