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!

Looks nice, easy to install
Color: Rustic Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
This shelf is lightweight, looks nice, and was easy to install. It comes with a little level to help you install it properly. There are plenty of mounting holes to choose from, so it is easy to screw it directly into a stud, or to just use holes that are convenient for you. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware. I mounted mine a bit high up and chose to mount it upside down so that I wouldn't see the three screws that hold the shelf to the mounting bracket.

Great center piece for my gaming room
Size: 7.9"D x 39.4"W x 34.3"H, Color: White, Size: 7.9"D x 39.4"W x 34.3"H, Color: White
It’s quite large, but you can display a lot of your cool collectibles on it. It arrives in a nicely packaged box with instructions, although I found the instructions to be quite basic. Most people should be able to figure it out. Instead of following the instructions, I recommend forming the honeycomb structure on one side and then attaching it to your wall. Drill holes through the holes in the honeycomb, ensuring everything is level. Once the entire unit is assembled, one person can hang it on the wall. However, I suggest having a building partner. I attempted it alone and was straining my core while reaching on a ladder, which was probably not the wisest idea. The build quality appears to be very good, and I believe it will last for many years. The LED light colors are nice, though not as good as those on a razor, but they’re not bad for a third-party product. There are plenty of screws to install, with a couple of extra. Just for reference my computer screen in the g9 57 inch that’s how big this shelf unit is. Holds up to 120 lbs

Will probably buy another one!

Looks great, LED strip is a nice touch. The unit is relatively lightweight while still being quite sturdy. There were a lot of parts and it took some time to assemble, but the instructions were very clear - just step-by-step drawings but everything was labeled clearly. I was pleasantly surprised that the hardware that is used to put it together is better than you’ll often find with low-cost shelving and furniture too, which gives you confidence while assembling. Just don’t over-tighten anything to avoid cracking or stripping the parts.
