Robust, accessible, indispensable knowledge.

The kindle edition is kind of a mess. It doesn't seem like anyone did layout for the e-version. Not an unreadable mess - just an ordinary mess.

This book is a lot to digest and is probably best read/skimmed and then set aside as a reference. Lots of information in here that won't have to memorize if you keep the book handy.

I watch Peter Chan's YouTube channel and so had the good fortune of hearing his voice in my head for the entire book - which is written in his voice. Very warm and friendly.

Peter Chan is a renowned Bonsai artist. But his perspective and tone regarding these things is very relaxed. He can (and will) tell you everything about bonsai, from its history to its geography. But in the end, all he really seems to want is for you (me) to have fun and not overspend.
