wouldn't put much stock in it. I just got these straight
out of Kodansha's
Romanized Japanese-English Dictionary.




Ok, fair enough

Since this is a classic bonsai book, long in print, which
everyone who is serious about bonsai should have, I recommend
that you simply refer them to this resource for Japanese tree
names.


While I understand the concept and where you're coming from, I have to say
that as a *user*, if I came to the IBC site and was looking for information,
only to be referred to a book, I would not be impressed.

There are *several* factors why some people don't acquire books or why
refering them to a book from the site isn't always the best option.. Could
be that it can't be afforded. Could be that there's no space to keep books.
Could be that the person in question doesn't want books. Could be that the
person lives in a small town where the only bookstore (if there is one)
doesn't carry this book. Could be that the person wants the information at
the time they are surfing (like 3am). Etc.

Just my 2 cents.
