[Ray Savarda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Talks a lot about non-indoor bonsai along with indoor bonsai. A lot of general techniques, a long description of soils, not so much about wiring. The "extended" descriptions of individual plant types are fairly short, maybe 1/2 page per tree instead of other books that expound a bit more on each species.
