    I have been considering for some time starting to try Bonsai again,I used to have a lovely book but over the years and several house moves its gone missing.

    So I was browsing the book shelves in one of my local P.D.S.A. Charity shops the other day and my eye was caught by a book entitled "The Bonsai Book" by Dan Barton, and leafing through it seemed a very informative book.Turning it over to find the price i nearly had an anaphylactic shock 59p

    I have bought a lot of books from our local Charity shops as some knowledges never change
