I apologize for the slow response to the SF question and E Book question.
There will not be any copies at the SF show. I am not able to attend that show. I wish I could :-)
The eBook is going to take some time. (I have to make an ePub for that) Thank you!
Thank you both so much for your kindness and support! I have been working on this project for so many years. It feels great to have it done. I am a happy guy today:-)
Brian helped me sort out my log-in problems, Thank you Brain!
Thank you also to Mark, Joe and Greg. Your assistance and or kind words is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Danny Massey

Nice looking FK. I notice that the ana has been re-sized at some point and it now overlaps the mei as one would expect. (mei placement seems correct ) A senior student once shared with me that this can be a factor in conveying a good feeling about the originality of a mei. Below is a Hamano FK for reference. The manner of takabori used for the shako tree seems similar. Best of luck at shinsa !
