Post-Dated: The Schooling of an Irreverent Bonsai Monk (Gold Medal winner 2009 PubWest Book Design Awards)

A restless 36-year-old American travels to Japan to begin a new life as an apprentice in the traditional art of bonsai. This is the setting of Post-Dated, a chronicle of one man's erratic education far from home . . . linguistic blunders, broken branches, mischievous coworkers, eccentric clients, a strict (but hilarious) master . . . adventures that he realizes are just the beginning of a nonstop emotional roller coaster. But then again. . . there are lessons to be learned even in the most irregular of circumstances.
