This has been my favorite so far (out of 4). It's old but it has all of the basics covered and a lot of things you need to know.

My bibles are Bonsai basics and Bonsai Inspirations I&II by Harry Harrington - everything you need to know is there :)
And for inspiration for landscapes and literati I´ve got Qingquan Zhao´s Penjing-Chinese art of bonsai and Literati style penjing.
I love it :)
