Janssen and i think it is the best practical guide i have found so far. notice how Amazon does not have any b/c it is such a great resource that they can not keep many in stock. here <http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9781853392030-1> is where i bought the book, while visiting friends in Portland OR. i could not beleive i found it in a store, but then i found-out that Powel is that kind of kewl bookstore, go figure (West coast USA). problem with most books is that they treat "Building with Bamboo" as a hobby activity and not something serious. You might want to try to contact Jules J.A. Janssen and see if you can go to Columbia to learn about building with bamboo.
