The Art of Bonsai: Creation, Care, and Enjoyment Book

From the synopsis I expected a "my first bonsai" guide, but at the same time it went way more in-depth than expected in some topics, it felt like it glossed over some others.
I like plants, and gardening in general is really appealing for me, and the idea of making a bonsai of a tree my grandfather planted to keep the memory of it alive when he inevitably cuts it, as he tried to do before, made me very enthusiastic, but reading this sapped all of it away even before I realized that I just couldn't care properly for this hypothetical bonsai because I live in an apartment, and therefore couldn't let the little tree 'outside'.
My disliking for this book comes in equal parts misunderstanding the objective of it and being frustrated at my inability to actually try and put the things in practice and the awful formatting of the ebook edition I had, that made mistakes like using 'b's instead of 'h's in words, and vice versa, quite frequently (also the quality of the images was precarious at best).
