So, I have a little money to spend and would like to buy one of these resources. All are priced around $40-50.
Boon's Wiring and Styling DVD
http://www.bonsaiboon.com/pages/shopping.html
I have a decent grasp of basic wiring, even having some success with the 2-branches/1-wire technique lately. I've heard these DVD's are a good way to pick up some more tricks. I have no specific interest in Black Pines, but from what I understand, many of Boon's lessons here apply to most other species.
Bonsai Techniques II - John Yoshio Naka
http://www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Techni...TF8&coliid=I16BACGJCCL54Q&colid=3SXY75685XDXG
Obviously a classic. I have the first book and eventually will add this to my library - just not sure if it will be as immediately helpful as the other choices.
Tropical Green Sheets

Has anyone ever seen this one? Most bonsai books are lacking when it comes to tropical trees. This appears to have lots of info on species that I have in my back yard.
