4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, but has a lot of recycled material.,
This review is from: The World of Koi (Mini Encyclopedia Series for Aquarium Hobbyists) (Paperback)
This is a good, somewhat comprehensive book with nice pictures. However, don't buy it if you already have Koi: Living Jewels of the Orient. A lot of the text is the same, word for word, as are a lot of the pictures.

This review is from: The World of Koi (Mini Encyclopedia Series for Aquarium Hobbyists) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my husband to help him with his ever expanding koi pond project. he found a lot of useful information in it and has returned to it numerous times when he has a question about his fish or his set up. Well worth the price.
