Do you recommend it?

Definately a good book to study design. Dave spent many hours during his years as Curator of the Pacific Bonsai Museum in WA developing this book. Stone Lantern reprinted a second edition recently. It is the same as the hard cover he released a couple years ago, which was sold out quickly.

I think it actually has a new section or two and has more and updated illustrations, but mostly the same quality content.

Do you recommend it?

It's a great book on the aesthetic styling of trees. Theory and practice. No horticultural advice (as far as I remember), just how and why of aesthetics in general.

Do you recommend it?

I own the first 2 editions. I would highly recommend it.

Principles of Bonsai Design 2nd Pressing Pre-Orders

Thought I'd let my fellow B-nutters know if they hadn't already. Stone Lantern is doing pre-orders for the 2nd pressing of Principles of Bonsai Design by David De Groot. This one has been sold out for a bit and I've been looking for it...

Same. I haven't gotten too far into the new one, but haven't found the new stuff yet.
