tell us what he feels about the ebook

Bonsoire M. de Lespiney,

I am sorry, I can read and speak Franc, but I am unable to write in your
beautiful language.
So I replay in English.

Est il trop long ? - Is it too long ?
No, not at all.

I think that your work is correct from the descriptive point of view.

The videos are explicative and well made. I suggest only to add same music to accompanying the vision. Soft and meditative musics, for example, like Erik Satie.

I think that your work is a good address and help to realize a rod.

I think that the sequence of sending the videos parts are correct.

I think that the price of the book is correct considering the complexity of the work that you have made. Also today.

I hope that this short words can be useful for you, and you have my complete authorization to use it in your web page.

Thanks for your work.

Me salutation le plus distinguées

An another french reader

Hello Josselin de Lespinay,

I have been waiting for you to reprint La Canne A Mouche as I have been searching for a copy of your first printing unsuccessfully.

I really enjoyed your book.

I have read most of the American books on building bamboo rods and found your book to be well worth reading. It has procedures and methods I have not seen before.

I think releasing all of the videos along with the book would let the reader move at their own pace. I believe that if you translated La Canne A Mouche into English you will find a new audience.

I am particularly interested in the way you splice the tip section to the butt section instead of using ferrules. I hope your video explaining pages 72 – 77 thoroughly.

This concept as it is literally foreign to me. I read Bremond’s article from the late 1970’s about hollow building and using a splice rather than a ferrule but I am still a little baffled by it.

A scale drawing of a layout like you show to the left of the bamboo in the picture on page 54 – (5.5) with the distances noted (lengths of the cells and the spaces in between) from one end to the other referencing a particular taper such as the Alcibiades so I can better understand the concept would help. Even having the position and lengths of the cells written to the right of the tapers on page 128 would be helpful.
