Critique on Craig's latest book, Bonsai Masterclass;

The most important aspect of a Bonsai Novice is having the enthusiasm and confidence to begin engaging in this "art style." This is what Craig Coussins does for anyone applying the information in his books. You will find that his approach is well thoughtout and easy to apply. His attitude is generous and philosophy is to share without concern of monetary return. One does have to earn a living, however, and he does this with style and grace.

His new book "Bonsai Master Class" is an art in itself. His photography and concern for detail related to horticultural requirements is essential for any level of advancement. If you style a tree and are ignorant of requirements your endeavor is futile.

Any "art style" requires basic guidelines and requirements for success. Craig covers all aspects of general care and takes it one step further. Everything you need to know for basics and advancement is in this book.

I especially enjoy the information related to "indoor cultivation." This is an area that I have found sorely lacking...up to now. Because most Bonsai enthusiasts cultivate outdoor species it is difficult to find an authority on the less popular "indoor or tropical" species. The instruction on cultivation, styling and refinement will not dissapoint.

My personal request is for a book devoted to just this subject..."Indoor Bonsai".

Craig's book covers a variety of styles and approaches to this true "art form."
Because of this you will have an instruction book that you will use over and over again.
This is not a table top book...it is ment to be used.

Once again, thank you for the hard work and generousity in producing one of the most beautifully illustrated and informative instruction books on Bonsai!

Most sincerely,
