Wally that must be a missprint the book new was $ 45-00 try for it on Ebay. I bought two pre GST days at a sale for $ 20-00 each for the club.

Harry Tomlinsons is a good one, as is Dan Bartons but I think you would be hard pressed now to find it. Colin Lewis is another.

$200.00!!!! What the - is the thing gold plated or something? :shock: :shock: $253.59 is either a misprint or outright theft - it's even a paperback copy, not the original hardback copy.

Most Bonsai nurseries would have copies for sale. Try this link - the book is $49.00 - and available!!

Harry Tomlinsons book - The Complete Book of Bonsai is available at Amazon for $29.70 (I guess that'd be US$)

Dan Bartons book 'The Bonsai Book' is also available through Amazon from as little as $0.50 (all second hand ones):

I have a copy of Harry Tomlinsons Complete Book of Bonsai - 1990 edition that I'm prepared to let go if someone wants it. The information appears to be exactly the same as the later editions - maybe someone will know. The sleeve is a bit discoloured with age as are the edges of the pages, The hard cover under the sleeve is unmarked. What do you reckon it's worth guys?

Wally, Evilbay is still my second best friend, but as others have said I think most Bonsai Nurseries will either carry this book or be able to get a copy for you.
