Hi there
In 2004 I published a book on traditional embroideries inspired by the Taj
Mahal; 6000 have been printed, but only with French explanations. As I will
move soon to Virginia, I was wondering if it would worth to ask American
Publishers to publish an English version, according to the American culture
and strong interests in needlework.
My work, including some examples from the book I mentioned, can be seen on
my website.
I will be more than happy to read your comments and advices.

The embroideries on your website are so beautiful - congratulations.
I would love to read an english version of your book and hope that you
find a publisher.
Best regards, Annette in NZ

I'd get a copy! I'd even be tempted by the French version and see how much I
can figure out with a dictionary and what I learned in HS.

The embroidery is gorgeous. I'd say go for it. The Embroider's Guild
of America headquarters in Louisville, KY may be able to help you if
you run into snags.

Your work is gorgeous. I certainly hope you find a publisher. And
where in Virginia are you moving to?

Framboise, I enjoyed looking through your very interesting site. The
work is beautiful. I think it would be well worth it to have an
English version of your Souvenirs brodés du Taj Mahal. If the French
version is selling well on Amazon and wherever else you have it, then
surely the English version would, too. You should consider
approaching publishers in the US who already handle similar books,
citing your sales results with the French version. I am sure it would
be accepted.
Deb
