Has anybody else picked up Penjing: The Chinese Art of Bonsai by Zhao Qingquan?
I've had it for a couple of weeks (got mine from Stone Lantern, though Amazon has it for a bit cheaper).

I've really enjoyed it. Great photographs of beautiful trees and landscapes. Some shapes very similar to familiar "Japanese" images - some wonderfully different (like that Elm on page 15 ). I'm still digesting the parts on "theory", described here as the eight relations. Cool stuff & definitely recommended for around 20 bucks.
