New Book Release!!

[JTaki]

Hey everyone! My new book “Bonsai for the Beginner” is going live on Amazon on March 31st. I would love to give a select group

of people a FREE and EARLY copy of the book. I’m hoping to provide value and help beginners learn and have a great reference book.

If you’re interested, please DM me and comment the word BOOK below. Then I’ll send you a copy of the book!

As always buyer beware. First post and it’s promotional.

Would like to know a little bit more about your background in bonsai, how long you been keeping trees, and pictures of your actual trees you have been keeping and working on for years.
That way we can tell if you are legit or just regurgitating others work trying to make money or possibly scam someone.
Sorry if that seems harsh but I literally get people trying to scam me with emails or texts almost every day.

He is also advertising it on Facebook on the Bonsai Online public group, but a quick search on Amazon does not bring it up as an up coming book which I have seen before so you could pre-order.
Not sure if every book has that or just if its requested though

Hey Paradox,
I can upload some photos when I get home but I’ve been into bonsai for nearly 20 years and have had a decent collection over the years. Some of my current trees are a 10 year old Acer Palmatum with red leaves, a few portulacaria afra jade type bonsai of various ages, and a 8 year old juniper. I am a biologist by trade and have always been fascinated by plants and the art of bonsai, as well as the meditative aspect of it.
I get what you are saying. I am just trying to provide value to beginner bonsai enthusiast with my experience and so I have written a book.

I'd be curious to check out the advance copy.

I’m sorry, there has been some dodgy posts on here recently so we are particularly cautious. I’m sorry if you are legit but “10 year old acer with red leaves and 8 year old juniper” doesn’t fill me with confidence.

$10 says the entire book was written by AI.

That was my guess too; but it doesn’t really seem like it having read a sample of it. I’ll reserve my comments until I’ve read more.
