I only have a few photos of the displays themselves. Most of the show features displays with box stands, while other areas feature a mix of small trees, stands, and accents.

    Jonas, the book is great. I’ve got trees for grandchildren, nieces and nephews in process so it was easy to distribute your good work through iBooks. The “new” bonsai artists will have a fighting chance thanks to you. It’s a good and accessible reference for me as well. Thanks,

    Are you on The NY Times best seller list yet?

      Thanks Robert – am happy to hear the book is a good fit for new artists. And ha, I’m not on any best-selling lists I know of!
