Occasionally you can find a set of Bonsai Today available. They're usually a bit of an investment though.

Grats on getting that part of your life under control. I am sure its a huge relief

This is the older edition of this book but it's still good and worth buying. The new one is out of print and most of the time expensive when on sale. The American Bonsai Society sells it but you do not have to be a member to buy.

I woke up early today for some reason, and ordered this.

I really need to hurry up and run out of money so I can get my spending back under control.

Looks like you have a good start on a library.
That is a great book, many consider it the Bible on bonsai design.

Take the time to study the ones you just bought then see where you are.

That's the plan for now. I anticipate allot of doors opening thanks to these.
I've been mostly stumbling along, especially given that, aside from knowledge gleaned from here, I've essentially started over from scratch the past year.
If I stop posting hanging out here as much over the summer, just assume I'm reading.
