Ok thank you I'll look into it. I don't have Facebook
I went to his website and it wouldnt ship to me via ordering in the site, so I found his email on there and emailed him to get one.

He will give you a price for the book plus shipping. You'll need to have PayPal to pay him and use friends and family so he doesn't lose money to PayPal.

Beware, it will be expensive as he ships via air courier and it's coming from Italy. I ordered one from him and I got it in like 4 days which is amazing since it has to come from Italy.

Make sure you specifically ask for the English version if that is what you want

Thank you I'll try this way. I know it'll be expensive but so many people have said it'll be worth it

From what I've looked at in my copy, I would agree

Sorry I did search to see if a thread already existed and none came up but an out dated one of someone selling there copy. I must if not phrased it right. Thanks for the link
 
I got copy from here. Arrived pretty quick. I had contacted him and he replied but didn’t want to use PayPal since haven’t used it in years so was able to order at this place. Same price as what he quoted me.

I also got my copy from Greenwood, pretty prompt shipping and arrived safe and sound - got to set aside some time to read through it!

Yea me too.
Every time I sit down to look at it and the Flowering bonsai book I just got, I get a dog demanding my attention instead of reading that book

Yeah I have Read through a good chunk of it and a lot of info in there. Now if only I had more advanced trees to use techniques on 🤦‍♂️ All my maples need to grow first although I did recently pick up a larger Japanese maple I’m trying to air layer
 
I msg'd him on fb and this was his response.
"Hi thank you so much, I cant comment because i’m not signed in

The real question is how do we get our hands on these

As I'm sure you know if you're here in US, you cant unless there is a way to quarantine for 2 years and then shipping it in bare rooted is very risky.
I agree those are some beautiful trees though
 
I emailed him yesterday he got back with me this morning. He asked for my address and phone number and if I have PayPal. I answered him giving all the info he asked for. He responded back several hours later saying he can ship me a signed copy to my door step for 170€ which comes out to $181 and some change. All I have to do is send him the money through friends/family on PayPal and then he'll ship it out. He said it should only take 3-10 days to receive.
I was expecting the book to be pricey but almost $200 for a book is it really worth that much? That's more then what I've paid for my trees. I have all pre bonsai. I'm getting some maples so that's why I'm interested in the book since keep seeing people saying it's a must if getting into maple bonsai.

Most of that price is for shipping.

When I ordered mine, it came in 4 days.
He sent it via DHL air courier which I think it's to make sure it gets here fair quickly.
That is expensive. I don't think he can just send via mail, there is no USPS in Italy.

Up to you whether you feel it's worth that cost.
 
So I decided to pull trigger and order the book. With PayPal exchange rate fees it came to a whopping grand total of $192.92. I hope I get the book since don't get package protection with sending it through friends/family.
I'll be anxiously waiting for the book to show up I can't wait to read it.
Thanks all of you for helping me get it.
 
@Zac It is expensive but in my opinion, absolutely worth it if you are interested in maples. And it's not just about refining mature trees, there is a ton of information with really detailed pictures on every aspect of development of the tree. I find myself going back and rereading chapters to brush up on techniques all the time.
 
Thanks
I purchased the book. I received shipping conformation yesterday says will be here Thursday. I can't wait to read this book
