Anyone have a copy of Bonsai Styles of the World by Charles S. Ceronio that you're willing to depart or know where I can get a copy? Please let me know. Many thanks!

As you have no doubt discovered, it seems to be unavailable in the USA.

Ceronio was selling it himself at one time. You might e-mail ceronio@pretoriabonsaikai.org or look at www.pretoriabonsaikai.org . I had heard that a revamp was in the works. I have the 1999 edition.

Hi all,

There is a second edition, but that too is out of print. I have contacted the author directly and he mentioned that a reprint is in order, but others have told me that he also said the same thing many years ago. It seems to be a great book, but difficult to find at the moment.

I'm still looking for the book and contacting the author proved unsuccessful (lost in shipment. . .). If anyone has a lead on a copy, please let me know, thanks!

I wish these authors would offer digital copies. Its cheap to do. Especially out of print books.

Charles Ceronio will be here in Ft. Myers Florida on the 2nd and 3rd of
November... At Wigert's Bonsai Open House. He will be doing workshops
and Demos. They are Flying him in from South Africa.

If any one wants to make the journey, The Open House is really fun !!!
A lot of really good Bonsai folks show up, Great Vendors...(Not just saying
this because I am one of them ) And then there is Erik's nursery, and his
personal plants section,to stumble through...

You guys from Texas, it's only a day and a half drive !!!
And the weather is always awesome here in November.

I am saving that drive for next year...to Disney World I'll see if I can visit some nursery during the visit, not sure where Eric's nursery is but if it is within proximity of my route, I'll definitely try to swing by.

If I remember... I will ask Eric about this, this weekend, seeing that I will be
down there. Maybe he can inquire about it with Charles in more depth ???

His nursery is not in close proximity...
About 3 plus hours away, But worth it !!!

When I lived in Los Angeles, I use to drive back to Tampa to visit family
every other month...
First night - San Antonio
Second Night - New Orleans(couldn't pass up a good night of debauchery)
Afternoon of the 3rd Day - Tampa
3,000 miles !!!

Once did it in 2 Days, cause I needed to get back for Biz !!!
