Bonjour,

We are finishing the work on our french adaptation of Bruce's book this 
week.
For the cover I'm searching for a fine looking picture of someone 
projecting plaster on a SB wall. The picture will be about 8x8 cm (2,5x 
2,5 inch) so it cannot be a very 'crowded' shot. Less is better! If it 
can be a colourfull plaster that would be great.
It can also be a close-up shot 'nozzle-plaster flying-and wall'.

A good shot of someone applying plaser with a trowel will also do.

The idea is that it the cover should please to the 'regular' builders. 
The problem with my own pictures is that I allways apply the base coat 
by hand. I'll happily continue doing so, but the regular french building 
professionals have a typical way of snobbing that approach. I'll gladly 
adapt my cover to please them. Next they might come for a workshop and 
then I'll get them slapping mud ;-)

For your information, I am happy to announce that I co-publish the book 
with Eyrolles, one of the 2 main french publishers for the regular 
building trade. That way I hope that the regular building professionels 
will gain more acceptance for SB building. A bit like getting Lafarge 
(the cement giant) to say on TV that straw is the way to go ;-)

Anyway, your help is very much appréciated.
Ofcourse you will be credited (and can be payed if you want)

Bye,
André
