Ohayo gozaimasu!
I just took a afternoon class here in Cleveland Ohio on bonsai and made my 1st Bonsai out of a Weeping Juniper. I'm very excited and now have the bonsai bug. I want to know if there is anyone here in Cleveland Oh on this forum that knows if there are any Bonsai Clubs in the Cleveland area. Mzkrista |

| Hi Lucy - In my estimation, the Sunset Publishing book is an excellent and inexpensive place to begin, for a good overview of bonsai. There are several editions, but the latest (2003) is far superior to earlier editions (translated = get the 2003 edition). ;o) Search for it on the net using: ISBN 0-376-03046-1, or call Sunset @ (800) 525-5111.

| The library is also a great source - I've found many of my most favourite bonsai books from my local city library. And they're completely commitment-free! (Apart from committing to return the books). - Audric |

| Amazon.com has a big bonsai selection, and an even bigger 'Used" bonsai book one. They're very inexpensive compared to new ones, they tell you the condition of the books ("torn fly leaf" - so unimportant!) and tell you how to order them. The more recent ones are usually better, and look for ones that give overviews (vs specializing in one type of tree or technique), and ones that specify 'Indoor .. bonsai" (Paul Lesniewicz's is the most popular) though most written for 'outdoor' trees (that must have cold dormancy for months) don't always specify outdoors as it's often taken for granted. |
