A. John Caswell (Shelby Twp. Michigan USA)
Peter Adams book on Japanese Maples is invaluable to those who wish to grow or style this type of bonsai. His attention to detail and instruction is of the highest quality. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in growing any deciduous trees.
An excellent reference book March 2, 2009
W. Tom Davis (Chicago, IL United States of America)
I was recommended this book by knowledgeable bonsai enthusiasts. The techniques Mr. Adams shares are well thought out and written in terms that are easy to grasp and understand. I found his book about the different Japanese maple species and bonsai husbandry very helpful in that he touches upon interesting horticultural aspects of why and how each of the techniques are used. This book is for someone who has good bonsai husbandry skills and experience, and is looking for more refined techniques in working with, styling and creating beautiful Japanese Maple Bonsai. I liked it very much.

Mr Adams is a really thoughtful, pleasant, and eloquent person and this text reflects that. It is well written and thoughtfully arranged to convey his impressive knowledge base. The bonsai design information is very useful for the advanced bonsai hobbyist. Above all, the great value of the book is the knowledge of this species and the value of patience and planning. It is a very useful addition to a sophisticated bonsai library. It would be particularly useful for a club or organization to share with members.

All bonsai enthusist that love to work on maples should get and read this
book
An absolute must for any bonsai enthusiast. July 7, 2008
E. A. Mercado (Florida, USA)
I was skeptical about how much could be written about Japanese maples alone in the context of bonsai culture. My fears where quickly quashed by this wonderful book. Not only does it provide fantastic information about working with these great trees, but it offers some of the best example I've ever seen on maple bonsai from which to gather inspiration.
Not a beginners book, but a book that will bridge the gap between beginner and specialist. Highly recommended.
