Growing Bonsai Indoors
Growing Bonsai Indoors
Price $9.95

This new book is not at all the same as the old Brooklyn Botanic Indoor Bonsai book. This one is written by and for Americans and other Westerners in a simple and straightforward style.
Some of varieties chosen are difficult to grow indoors (this is a common weakness with books on indoor bonsai), but much of the general information is very good, as is the information on the varieties that are most easily adapted to indoors.  
This is altogether a very comprehensive book with a lot of userful content for the price.
Softcover. 6” x 9” 118 pages

Satsuki Azaleas
Price $39.95

For bonsai and azalea enthusiasts
This remarkable book presents by far the most expert, detailed information of Satsuki bonsai of any book. It is hard to imagine that we will ever need another book on the subject. Bob Callaham provides us with something never before seen in English; a complete celebration of satsuki, rich with photographs, how-to instructions, fascinating facts, and an unrivaled encyclopedia of over 1,600 cultivars (this alone is worth the book's price). All of this adds up to a rare treasure indeed.
