Michael: I plan to get the book in a couple of weeks in DC at
WBC5, so I can get your autograph on it. Look forward to seeing
you there.

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
