Suggested readings for a New guy?

[Borg]

Alright, being pretty new to the art of bonsai, I was wondering what suggested readings the more experienced individuals here would point me towards?

I have a few bonsai books already, but would love to get my hands on more. I also have a binder of printed material from a couple websites I found back in 2013 that looked interesting. Any and all guidance is appreciated, especially since I've been adding to my "stick-in-pot" collection lately in the hopes to start training up some pretty tree's.

Thanks ahead of time!

Thanks, I had a feeling it was a common question, and did use the search function, I guess the key words I used were a little off.

That's one of the books my father got me quite a while back... It's one that I look at quite often. LOL

If can be found Bonsai Techniques I and II by John Naka is most excellent but beware of price scalpers.
