[.ca] Bonsai Survival Manual: Tree-by-Tree Guide to Buying, ... (ISBN 0882668536)

Very helpful:
Bought this book after my first tree died, thinking maybe another book may give me a better chance of sucess. This book is very inforfmationally and easy to follow. The information on individual tree is very helpful in picking trees to grow.

Sparse:
No real indepth information. It does have a lot of different trees listed but don't rely on this to be your only book on the subject.
