Bonnie Gale has published her first book in April 2014, entitled "Living Willow Form: Creative Insights of Willow Artist". This book is the culmination of ten years of work, creating living willow structures and explores the resultant insights.

Function describes the parameters of the wonderful functionality of willow for living structures and then includes six pages of drawings, moving from living fences to mazes, arches, tunnel , arbors, gazebos to then outdoor rooms and specialty design installations . The Form chapter includes a multitude of images of the resultant structures. In addition, there is a List of her Living Willow Structures to date, Resources and Biographical Statement.
