Found it to be one of the best for beginners!

Being brand new to the art, I wanted a working background guide to quickly provide a foundational knowledge from which to build. This book goes well beyond! Well illustrated with pruning, training, propagating techniques, and traditional styles, it provided a superb basis for getting started. The only thing I wish it would have included was a section on "before and after" (to guide one on where to start in the initial pruning process, or "how to select a plant and how to indetify the style that might best fit a particular shaped plant". If your just beginning, this would be a great first step!
