| Notes |
| There are several recent books out there that focus on bamboo crafts, especially bamboo baskets. This book should be at the top of anybody's list. It is beautifully done in every respect. The featured work is breath taking. One wonders how human beings can create such beauty with their hands using only bamboo. Mind boggling stuff. |
