Masao Hideyoshi is the person I go to for first for all my bonsai education and advise! The book offers so much information for beginners and great advise for those more experienced enthusiasts. Wish it was in hardback form though!

Decent Introductory Book

Book is fine if you are an absolute beginner like myself, it goes through fast the main topics, so don't expect intermediate or advanced info, but other than that I guesd it's good for 99% of the people.
