Getting Fundamentals Before I Begin Spending.

Fabian,

I am new as well. I dug up a book I had laying around (The Complete Practical Encyclopedia of Bonsai by Ken Norman) and have read it cover to cover. Learning the different bonsai styles might be a good place to start. It will help you when selecting trees, and to appreciate trees you see on this site! This site is a great resource. You can find the answer to most of your questions just by searching for it.

Good luck!

And he, too is British. Lots of good books from UK artists -- Peter Adams, Colin Lewis (originally), Tomlinson, Norman, David Prescott, etc. -- but you need to keep geographic differences in mind.
