John:

We based the compilation on both previously published "source" material (from the earliest years of Bonsai Today) and newly authored chapters. The source material has been reworked, completely rewritten, and expanded to include new detail and content. The care and maintenance chapters, the heart of the book, have never appeared before.

It is an all color book with superb layout and images. For the serious pine enthusiast or the admirer of Japanese white and black pine, it offers a wealth of styling, care, and maintenance information. Distribution is being made on an international scale through Stone Lantern Publishing, and we expect to see a considerable distribution throughout Europe.

I hope this information provides insight into the essence of the work. The goal was to create the most definitive work on Pines appearing in the English language. The book could find its way into translation, but this remains to be determined.

Cordially,

Michael

Congratulations.

Is this a compilation of materials previously published in Bonsai Today, or is
it all new material?

John
