Indoor Bonsai
This book was well-written, and very informative for the beginner. It went over all of the basics for Bonsai care, and was even appropriate as a reference book for the intermediate Bonsai caregiver. I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in starting a Bonsai garden

Slightly antiquated Bonsai book
While the trees themselves have not changes, books have. This book is good, but there are better Bonsai books out there that are available for the beginner. Check out "The Complete Book of Bonsai" by Harry Tomlinson instead
