"FINE BONSAI " deluxe edition of Bill Valavanis book

My heart is rushing...being a book person the appreciation to his heart put into the little details of this book...well done sir! @william N Valavanis...
Leather spine...cloth cover
Cloth box cover to protect...and a special cardboard box to make sure all resides in pristine shape! The history though the large photos are mesmerizing...pulled me to the back. Great way to deal with recovering from being sick! So appreciate the time it took to compile the history found on the back section of the book.

Hats off to a beautiful book...well done!

Puts a new perspective on viewing trees. I'm so used to hearing critics finding fault in something...that...I think we sometimes lose sight of what the overall feeling is. Trees all start somewhere...and some, have faults...that can be worked with. Humbling...some of the trees found here in this book,in my mind I can hear ones offer to shorten it. (From just knowing how the crowd falls.) Yet here it is...in all its glory. Eye opening. I also see...less fault in my own trees...believe it or not. After viewing these amazing specimens found in the book. Because...even these fine specimen bonsai...can have slight faults. I find that huge...in my overall look on the hobby. So many are quick to critique...but, let's look further. Into the possibilities. ? see the joy of here and now as well. Breathe of fresh air.

Brought to my attention...ending tonight, 99 cent bonsai has this book!!! It's just not the deluxe edition. Still an awesome book and worth far more!
