Notes
I purchased this book from Adam Turtle at the Second Annual Bamboo Festival sponsored by the Southeast Chapter of the American Bamboo Society. Note that it is only 204 pages as compared to the 240 pages of the Lulu Press edition. This copy appears to be an earlier self-published version of the book. It contains no color photos.
