[IBC] Mary's book
I'm sitting here at my desk after just finishing my second
re-read (that's 3 readings, if you can't count :-) ) of long-time IBCer, Marry Miller's new book "Bonsai With Tropicals -- Some Things I learned Along the Way." "What," you exclaim, "ANOTHER bonsai how-to book? How many do we need of these?" Not to worry. THIS book is for folks who have the Sunset book memorized (and Mary started with Sunset, too!), who have all of Herb's books, and who have a few good or moderately-well-done bonsai on their tables already. It is filled with little tips and tricks that make doing bonsai easier and more fun . . . and your trees better. AND, its a very nice read, too. The TOC: Lessons in Learning and Teaching Technique Odds and Ends My Haiku Attempt Personal Thoughts Wire Growing Aspects Light Species notes Cold and Colder Weather Problems and Pests Tools Bonsai Stories Conclusion There you have a life of bonsai summed up in a brief column. While "Bonsai With Tropicals" may be one of the more unorthodox books on the subject around, it also is extremely informative -- even if, like me, you have few tropicals. Lots of fun. (And there may be another on the way!) Order from Mary C. Miller, PO Box 924483, Princeton FL 33092-4483. $16.95 USD More info: Enjoy . . .
