 Great technical info May 25, 2003
By M. S. Walzer
If you plan to build structures with bamboo, this book is a must. It is the only one I have found that has construction details.

a must read for this topic Sep 26, 2010
By dravier
To assure this book receives it's due credit please understand this is one of the few accessible books on the topic. Consider this book a primer for the topic. It covers the very basics of construction with bamboo, evident alone by the length of the book. The author has other books related to the topic but all are "textbooks" and therefore a little less accessible unless you live near a engineering based university with a publicly accessible library.
For those with any interest on the topic Janssen's book is a great place to start for an introduction to the nearly endless realm of bamboo construction. Beyond the great information that he lays out in very easy to follow passages, the book concludes as all good scholarly works do, with a sizable bibliography. This is what makes a good primer. Worth every bit of the cover price.

 not as impressive as the older version Jan 14, 2011
By minoo sher ,cedar creek
I have the same handbook published 10 years back. It is much more comprehensive with more pictures and detail.
basically ,I bought another to give as gift to the local Library and now I am disappointed.
recommend you find old print.
That original version is a must have for Architects and builders.

 Too modern Jun 14, 1999
Technology is great, but sometimes building methods of native people are "better" than our scientific methods. From an engineering standpoint it was a great book but as a book for someone curious about many ways of building things I was a little disappointed.
