“Marvelously written and photographed…this book is a great guide for making bonsai basics easier.”—Golden Statements: The Magazine of Golden State Bonsai Federation “A well written, beautifully illustrated introductory book on the development of bonsai. In fact, I wish that I had this book on my shelf when I first jumped into growing trees many years ago . . . This little book would fit very well into a beginner’s library but it also has numerous nuggets for the experienced practitioner.”—American Bonsai Society Journal “The book is small in size, but it is packed with fascinating and practical information about these unique trees, which are attracting attention among beginner gardeners searching for alternatives to small-scale succulents as well as ways to bring a sense of tranquility to their homes, inside and out.”—Oregon Live “We have waited a long time for a concise introductory bonsai book written by an expert, and we  finally have it. Dupuich’s book has the earmarks of a classic.”—Michael Hagedorn, author of Post-Dated: The Schooling of an Irreverent Bonsai Monk “This well written and beautifully illustrated book covers bonsai care along with authoritative information for creating your own bonsai.
