[IBC] new (?) bonsai books
Seems there a couple of new bonsai books on the shelves. I
looked both over today, but didn't buy -- yet. I'll add them to the collection . . . someday. 1. Pop Bonsai - Kodansha pub. It's by a (ALERT! - SEXIST COMMENT - ALERT!) cute Japanese chick, Lisa Tajima, who attended college in the USA and obviously took our pop-culture marketing tricks to heart and has mastered them very, very well. For an idea, you can checkout www.popbonsai.com (though you will have to have the Macromedia Flash add on installed to see anything (I prohibit the showing of "Flash" products (for obvious security reasons) so can't see much). Anyway, I'll probably end up getting this one first since the trees are all on the tiny side, which I prefer. ($19.xx) She appears to have an extensive interview on "Bonsai Talk" but since I haven't time to go there, I haven't seen it. DALE: You might want to comment on the pots. ;-) 2. Ortho's "All About Bonsai," apparently a new addition to Ortho's extensive "All About" series of garden-related books. It is admittedly for beginners. It has a number of pictures of mostly ho-hum bonsai, and a VERY basic text. It'll have to get a lot better if it hopes to match ANY of the Sunset books (old or new). ($14.xx). I'll wait until this one starts turning up on the used book shelves -- and it will -- before I add just-another-beginner book to my collection.
