Bonsai Maples- Andrea Meriggioli

[MACH5]

I would love the English spelling of the name of that book if you had time (if you know it), Is that the one that has Ebihara’s techniques in it?

Thanks!

It does feature some of Ebihara's techniques but I think executed by a different artist. So the photos are not the ones from Ebihara. I am sorry but I don't know the title of the book but I will try and find out.

I missed this post. Must have been on vacation looking at bonsai . Anyways, my friend told me about this book last year. I finally bought it and received it today. It's looking like a great book! Cost me about 150 USD. I believe it's absolutely worth it. It covers so many topics. Mine is soft cover; it doesn't matter to me. I love it! It's got to be my best bonsai book.
A peak inside the cover. @0soyoung ,you need this book.

The English spelling is "yamamomiji buna no sodatekata".

@ysrgrathe Thank you! After looking it up that means "how to make beech and maple".

I contacted directly by FB messenger. Paid by PayPal. Had difficulty using website as some of the functions didn't work.

Going through the book bit by bit. I am enjoying the pictures and the explanations that go along with them. I also like the Japanese and correct romaji used for their words. It helps to understand when talking with a Japanese. We can be on the same page. So much about everything including techniques I've wanted to learn and things I hadn't thought of doing yet like cleaning of a graft scar to better conceal the wound (e.g grafted branch). If this were leather bound with gilded page edges, I'd pay double for it and put it up on a bonsai altar

Ok thanks. Let me try it.

Frank can I ask where you got it from?

I have been trying to order this book since it came out, and have had terrible luck! I have paid for it 3 times, refunded only twice.... and still no book months later!

I have only heard good things about it!

Andrea has his own website where he sells lot of stuff (and a pretty good forum too! but you must speak italian)
Here it is:

I was lucky to get a copy in mint condition of the Ebihara Kinbon magazine issue through EBay but can't remember the seller. He was in Japan and was selling it for cheap. The article of course is great but I thought it would have a whole article on Ebihara with large photographs etc. Not the case at all. Photos are really small and in B/W. Still happy to have it since it is quite rare now.

Actually you can order back issues from Kindai directly. I did it this spring, without any problem. You just need to contact (in English, even!) them using this form to ask for the price with shipping for product S0105A1 (Kindai Bonsai May 2001). You can get the product code of a specific back issue through this page

Where from? Looked two days ago and all websites I found were out of stock

Edit: I see you're in the UK, that might explain it

There is another one that I treasure all about deciduous and their techniques. Much smaller book, not all photos in color and it's in Japanese... but I love it!

[Rivian]

Im going to take a wild guess that its not available in German?
I have no problem with English but I prefer German and it would be better for showing it to people
