<p><strong>Take a look &#8211; it&#8217;s worth it</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.andyrutledge.com/book/index.html">Artistic Foundations of Bonsai Design</a> provides a wealth of material for anyone who wants to take their bonsai to the next level. Andy Rutledge approaches bonsai with respect for the depth and breath of the art, and it shows in this well thought out, well organized web book that just might be worth a few minutes (perhaps much more) of your time.</p>

<p><strong>Andy Rutledge</strong><br />
Andy Rutledge is a Lone Star bonsai maven (of no small accomplishment) who seems to be motivated by a sense of seriousness and of enjoyment, at least when it comes to bonsai. In addition to his web book, Andy has contributed to both of Robert Steven&#8217;s wonderful books (<a href="http://www.stonelantern.com/Mission_of_Transformation_p/b1mot.htm">Mission of Transformation</a> and <a href="http://www.stonelantern.com/Vision_of_My_Soul_p/b1vision-c.htm">Vision of My Soul</a>) and has been involved in numerous other bonsai related project (we even worked together once on a <a href="http://www.stonelantern.com/Bonsai_Today_Back_Issues_p/btb.htm">Bonsai Today</a> related project). <em><br />
