Classical Bonsai Art: A Half Century of Bonsai Study – The Creations & Passion of William N. Valavanis
We always enjoy reading new books about bonsai or suiseki and Bill’s latest book is no exception. You can pick up a copy for a very reasonable price by clicking here. This is quite a large book at 9×12-inches with over 250 pages of color photographs.
In addition to the beautifully photographed trees he also includes: Drastic Pruning of Maple & Deciduous Bonsai, Improving Design by Inarch Branch Grafting, Improving Deciduous Surface Roots, Bud Pinching Used to Limit, growth & Reduce Foliage Size, Bending & Moving Heavy Trunks & Branches, Juniper Approach Grafting
and more.
We think you will really enjoy this book as it truly does show Bill’s passion for bonsai. Enjoy a few other selected photos from his book. All photographs are copyrighted by William N. Valavanis 2013.

This is an incredible book. I had a good time identifying pots for
Bill for it. There aren’t any other records and transformations like Bills. If you ever see him at a show, ask him how such and such got Such a great nebari, and prepare to sit with an IMac for an hour or two.
