Learn bonsai the traditional way with 70 types of trees and over 1,000 photos. Each step in the process of creating and maintaining bonsai is clearly illustrated by quality photos. This is in keeping with Show First, Tell Later, a superior way of teaching and learning almost everything. This way is confirmed by Americans and other Westerners who have apprenticed in Japan. The master teaches by showing rather than wasting a lot of time trying to explain the process before you've even seen it done and perhaps tried to imitate it. Later when you have the visual and even the kinetic experiences, words can be helpful and in this case, each photo is supported by a brief explanation. You might be surprised at just how well this works

 Yukio Hirose is an internationally respected bonsai artist and teacher and this remarkable book is the result of years of teaching beginning and intermediate bonsai students. We highly recommend it

The following is from the publisher's notes...

Written by one of Japan's foremost experts, The Ultimate Bonsai Handbook provides a complete overview of every aspect of bonsai gardening.

Over 1,000 photos demonstrate each step involved in raising and caring for 70 types of bonsai, supporting the book's "learn by imitation and observation" approach. This detailed book will serve as a timeless reference to cultivating pines, maples, flowering and fruit bearing trees and many other varieties.

This practical, comprehensive bonsai guide includes information about:
Types of bonsai and how to choose them
Basic tree shapes and how to display them
Tools, soils, and containers
Transplanting, root trimming, watering and fertilizing
Propagation, pruning, wiring and support
And much more!

Not Wood
I probably didn’t read descriptions well. They are a lightweight plastic material that looks like wood. Seem durable. The shelf could sit further onto bracket and flush to wall. Also will need to shim where tubes enter shelf. They are a little wobbly on brackets. But, overall I do like them!

Poor Quality for the price
Color: Walnut, Size: 36"W x 12"D, 2Packs
I have had these for about a week and so far i am not happy with them. They look good up but they are made only of thin particle board, the brackets do not not hold tight, i used the included Sheetrock holders and screws and i think the screws are to big for the holders and just dont hold well. Currently my shelves are empty because when i put something on them the shelves tilts forward. I am trying to decide if i can fix somehow or if I should just return them.

Great product
We have ordered this item many times. Easy to install and looks great. My son uses them to store/display his car model collections. We also used one to hold a sound bar in the living room.
